Pizza Lasagna Rolls

I made these for my husband after my pizza chicken was such a success. Eric loved them (there was little doubt that he wouldn't) so we now have another pizza dish to add to our repertoire.

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
8 lasagna noddles, cooked, drained, and rinsed with cold water
3 cups marinara sauce (pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce would also work)
1 egg
1 1/4 part-skim ricotta
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, divide
1 tablespoon dried parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
40-50 slices of pepperoni (thicker slices work best)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread about 1/2 cup pizza sauce on the bottom of the pan.

In a large bowl, combine ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan, salt and pepper. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese filling along each lasagna noodle. Place 5 or 6 pepperonis on each noodle. Roll up the noodles and place in the baking dish, seam side down.

Pour remaining sauce over the rolls. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozarella and 1/4 cup Parmsean over the top of the dish.

Cover the bakingdish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
