Deep Dish Pizza Lasagna

Step 1

Place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot tap water directly over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg,  and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Refrigerate until ready to assemble lasagna.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.

Step 4

To assemble, spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with ⅓ of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with ¼ of the mozzarella cheese. Top with 1/3 of the pepperoni slices, 1/3 of the mushrooms, 1/3 of the olives, and 1/3 of the green peppers. Spoon about 1 cup marinara sauce over the toppings, then sprinkle with ¼ cup parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup of marinara sauce to cover the pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella, toppings, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Serve hot.
