Because lasagna really IS a great thing to bring to the home of a postpartum family.  It freezes well, it portions well, it reheats well.  It’s bubbly, yummy stick-to-your ribs comfort food.  BUT sometimes–when everyone’s stopping by with a pan–lasagna gets a little boring.  Here’s a little twist casually inspired by another easy Italian fave…pizza!  This was a hit with my family–hope you like it too!

Ingredients:

• No-boil lasagna noodles
• 3 cups of your favorite pasta sauce
• 8 oz. ricotta cheese
• 8 oz. shredded mozzarella
• 3 large slices provolone
• 7 – 8 large slices uncured deli pepperoni
• 4 – 5 slices uncured Black Forest ham

The How To:

Super easy!  Layer and build as you wish in a small loaf pan.  Ham and ‘roni not your thing?  Use YOUR favorite pizza toppings–black olives, banana peppers, Italian sausage…you name it.  Enjoy!
