Spoon 1 ladle of sauce into 9x13 baking dish to lightly cover bottom surface. Place 4 lasagna noodles over sauce, slightly overlapping. Spread ⅓ ricotta mixture over noodles. Add ¼ of the meat mixture on to the ricotta, along with ¼ of the pepperoni slices. Drizzle another ladle or two of sauce over the layer. Continue layering but ending with the top layer of just noodle, meat and sauce. Then top that layer with the 2 C of mozzarella cheese.
