Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll-ups


Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll-ups
www.iheartnaptime.net
Ingredients
1 jar pasta sauce
12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to the package directions
pepperoni, about 48 slices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
I also used 1 container ricotta, was not part of the original recipe

·                          
Instructions
1.   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spread a small amount of pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish (pie plate, cake pan... doesn't matter).
2.   Lay all of your lasagna noodles out on your cutting board or counter top. (I spread the ricotta on first) and then, spread around 2 tablespoons of sauce on each noodle, all over one side. Repeat with the other noodles. Sprinkle half the cheese on top of the sauce. Place four pepperonis on each noodle, on top of the cheese.
3.   Starting at one end of the noodle roll it up like a cinnamon roll or jelly roll. Place the rolled noodle in the baking dish with the end of the noodle on the bottom so they don't flap open. Repeat with remaining noodles.
4.   Once all of the noodles are rolled up, use the rest of the sauce to cover the noodles. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until everything is hot and bubble and the cheese is melted. Let the dish cool for 3-5 minutes before serving hot.

Oven Baked Broccoli

I made this tonight and it was an all around hit!  I have done this to many different veggies: asparagus, green beans, zucchini to name a few, but I think broccoli is now my favorite...

Oven Baked Broccoli

Two heads of broccoli, cut off florets (should have made more, next time I will double it)
Place on a cookie sheet covered in foil.  Toss broccoli florets in olive oil and sea salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400, until a little crisp.
