Pepperoni Rosemary Ravioli Lasagna Recipes

EASY LASAGNA WITH PEPPERONI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F.
• Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling, salted water 8-9 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a light simmer then reduce the heat and cook slowly, covered, 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool 10 minutes (or place the sauce in a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use-in a few hours or overnight).
• Stir together the ricotta, parsley, and tarragon in a small bowl.
• To assemble the lasagna, lightly oil a 13 X 9-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato marinara in the bottom of the dish and top it with 4 noodles, slightly overlapping. Spread 1/2 of the ricotta-herb mixture over the noodles, then scatter 1/3 of the mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top.
• Cover the cheeses with 40 slices of pepperoni (5 rows of 8 pieces).
• Place 4 more lasagna noodles on top and spread with 1/2 of the remaining tomato sauce and the remaining 1/2 of the ricotta-herb mixture. Scatter another 1/3 of the mozzarella and 2 more tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with the remaining 40 slices of pepperoni.
• Lay the last 4 noodles on top and spread with the remaining tomato sauce. Scatter the remaining 1/3 of the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle with dried oregano.
• Bake uncovered until the cheese is bubbly and the top begins to brown, 30-35 minutes. Remove and let rest 10 minutes.
• To serve, cut the lasagna into 6 pieces and serve.

PEPPERONI CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Cook ravioli according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute mushrooms, pepperoni and onion in butter until onion is tender. Stir in tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil, oregano and cayenne; heat through. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream. Drain ravioli; toss with cream sauce.

RAVIOLI VEGETABLE "LASAGNA"

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil for ravioli.
• While water comes to a boil, drain defrosted frozen chopped spinach by wringing it dry in a kitchen towel, working over a garbage bowl or your sink. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons or 2 turns of the pan, and the garlic. Saute garlic in oil 1 minute, then sprinkle spinach into the garlic oil. Add artichoke heart pieces to the pan and turn to combine and heat through. Season vegetables with and remove from heat to a bowl. Place skillet back on the heat and melt butter. Whisk flour into butter and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk stock into flour and butter and let it bubble. Whisk in cream and Parmesan. Season sauce with nutmeg, salt and pepper and thicken 1 to 2 minutes.
• Preheat broiler to high. Set rack between middle of oven groove and top rack groove, about 8 inches from heat.
• When water boils, salt water, add ravioli and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Ravioli should be less than al dente, still a bit chewy -- it will continue cooking when combined with sauce and vegetables. Place a colander over ravioli as it cooks and add asparagus to it. Cut thin, trimmed asparagus into 2-inch pieces on an angle. Steam the chopped asparagus while pasta cooks, 2 to 3 minutes, until just fork-tender, but still green. Remove asparagus and add to bowl with spinach and artichokes. Place colander in your sink and drain ravioli.
• Drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil onto the bottom of a medium flameproof oval casserole or a flameproof rectangular baking dish and brush pan to coat evenly. Arrange a layer using 1/2 of cooked ravioli in the dish. Layer 1/2 of the cooked vegetables over the ravioli. Next, add a few ladles of sauce, then vegetables, then top casserole with the last of the ravioli. Dot top of "lasagna" with any remaining sauce and cover liberally with gratedprovolone or 4 cheese blend. Brown cheese 8 inches from broiler, 5 minutes.
