How to Make Antipasto Lasagna

  2. Spread 1/2 cup of pasta sauce evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer 2 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  4. Top with half (approximately 1/2 cup) of the chopped artichoke hearts, half (approximately 1/2 cup) of the chopped bell peppers, 1/4 cup of sliced pepperoni, and half (approximately 1/4 cup) of the sliced olives.
  5. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Spread 3/4 cup of pasta sauce over the cheese layer.
  7. Repeat layers 3-6, omitting the cheese on the second layer. End with a layer of lasagna noodles.
  8. Spread the remaining pasta sauce evenly over the top layer of noodles.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  10. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  11. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let the lasagna stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  13. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
