Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for the pan
- 4 large button mushrooms, sliced
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 8 oz. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 24 oz. jar marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped deli-sliced ham
- 1/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 16 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella
- 8 oz. container ricotta
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
-
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the sausage to the pot and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook, scraping up the browned bits, until the veggies soften, about 4 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked mushrooms, ham, olives and about 3/4 cup pepperoni; season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
-
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375. Brush an 8-inch round springform pan with olive oil and line with foil, leaving an overhang. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and toss with the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil.
-
Combine 2 cups mozzarella, the ricotta, Parmesan, and eggs in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
-
Wrap some lasagna noodles around the inside of the pan, overlapping slightly and trimming as needed. Cover the bottom of the pan with more noodles, overlapping slightly and letting them extend up the side of the pan. Spread 2 cups sauce in the pan and top with half of the ricotta mixture; cover with a layer of noodles. Repeat with 2 more cups sauce, remaining ricotta mixture and another layer of noodles, letting them extend up the side of the pan. Top with the remaining sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup pepperoni.
-
Bake until browned and bubbling, about 1 hour (tent with foil if the top is browning too quickly). Let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour, then lift out of the pan using foil. Remove the foil and slice.
