Ingredient Substitution Suggestions

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the sausage, ground beef, and pepperoni. Stir, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned, then transfer to a plate.
Add mushrooms, garlic, bell pepper, and onion to the pan and sauté until the mushrooms are soft but the vegetables remain the same color.

Return the meat to the pan along with the tomatoes, tomato paste, pesto sauce, half the parsley, a teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Add the olives and stir.

For the cheese mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta and eggs. Add the Parmesan, the remaining half of the parsley, the remaining teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well.
For lasagna: Preheat oven to 180°C. Place 4 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a large rectangular baking sheet, overlapping them. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles and smooth them out to form a smooth, flat layer.

Top with half the mozzarella slices, then half the meat sauce. Repeat the layers again and sprinkle the top of the lasagna with Parmesan cheese. Bake until heated through and the cheese on top is bubbling, 40-45 minutes.

Lasagna can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator without baking. It can also be frozen without baking. Just defrost it before baking.
