Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 16 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces Pepperoni slices
• 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
• 3 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the cooked sausage. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the chopped parsley.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping them.

Step 8

Spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the noodles. Add 1/3 of the pepperoni slices, and then spread 1/3 of the meat sauce over the top.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process two more times: noodles, cream cheese mixture, pepperoni, and meat sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.

Step 11

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 12

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbling.

Step 13

Let the lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
