Pepperoni Lasagna: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

I am great at following recipes, but not so great at creating recipes. Many years ago when I first started cooking I thought you had to follow a recipe exactly. Over the years I have learned that a recipe is a guide that can easily be changed to suits your needs and tastes. Maybe some day in the future I will get better at creating recipes, but for now I am happy to to find recipes and tweak them to suit my family.

Pepperoni Lasagna

Ingredients:

  • 15 lasagna noodles
  • 28 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
  • 8 ounces ricotta
  • 12 ounce mozzarella, shredded
