ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs shredded pork with barbecue sauce
- 1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 ounces pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Bring pulled pork in favorite BBQ sauce at a slow simmer on stove top.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg, salt, black pepper. Mix until smooth. Put aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. Put aside.
- Boil 6 quarts of water, add pinch of salt, and cook pasta to almost done. Rinse in cold water.
- Spoon enough sauce from your simmering pork mix to spread around bottom and sides of a 10”x14”x3” or closest sized baking pan you have and place one layer of lasagna on the bottom of the pan.
- Spread evenly over lasagna a nice layer of pork and sauce. Next spread a layer of ricotta mixture and sprinkle on mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat layering. Usually 3 or 4 layers depending on pan used. The goal is to use equal quantity of filling between each layer.
- On the top layer, top with remaining ricotta, thin layer of pulled pork and lightly sprinkling with cheese saving some cheese to top during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes until bubbly.
- Remove from oven; let sit for 15 minutes. Cut and serve with garlic bread. Enjoy!
- Foot Note: Use more or less cheese as desired. Save some cheese to add to top during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Very tasty and fun combination of flavors. I used the oven-ready noodles with a little extra BBQ sauce on the bottom with great results. I also used small curd cottage cheese and Monterrey jack instead of the ricotta and mozz, respectively, since that's what I had in the fridge. Will definitely make it again!
