Pizza Lasagna Rolls

At first glance, this recipe might seem fancy and complicated.  I found this recipe on Pintrest, so I left in the name brands.

Ingredients:
Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 of a medium yellow onion, diced small
  • 28 ounce can HUNTS’s 100% Natural Diced Tomatoes
  • 3 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
Lasagna Rolls:
  • 10 traditional lasagna noodles, cooked, drained and rinsed with cold water
  • 2 cups of sauce
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 and 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 and 1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided
  • 3/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 ounces sliced pepperoni (50-60 slices)

Directions:
Sauce:
  • In a large pan over medium-low heat, heat the butter and olive oil until the butter is melted.
  • Add the garlic and onion and saute until tender, about five minutes. 
  • Stir in HUNT's Tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, sugar, and red pepper flakes. 
  • Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce heat to low. 
  • Place a cover on the pan, tilted slightly to let some steam out.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes. 
  • Cool slightly. 
  • With an immersion blender, CAREFULLY blend until sauce has desired texture.
Lasagna Rolls:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Cook noodles according to directions on package -- once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water and lay out on sheets of wax paper so they don’t stick together.
  • Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and spread 1/2 cup of sauce into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling in a large bowl by mixing beaten egg, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated KRAFT Parmesan cheese, parsley and pepper until well combined.
  • To prepare lasagna rolls, lay out one lasagna noodle and spread it with about 2 tablespoons of cheese filling. 
  • Lay out 5-6 pepperoni on top of cheese filling.
  • Roll up each noodle starting at one of the short ends. 
  • Place in prepared baking dish, seam side down. 
  • Repeat until all noodles have been filed and rolled.
  • Pour 1 and 1/2 cups sauce over the rolls and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup KRAFT Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes (remove foil for last 10-15 minutes) or until hot and cheese is melted. 
  • Let stand about 10 minutes prior to serving.
