Ulloa opened the scoring after just 38 seconds at the King Power Stadium, and that set the tone for another fruitful afternoon for Nigel Pearson's side, who have now won five of their last six games to ensure their hopes of Premier League survival remain in their hands.
Captain Wes Morgan took advantage of more meek Newcastle defending to double Leicester's lead in the 17th minute, and Ulloa was on hand to convert a penalty shortly after the restart to seal a comprehensive win.
By contrast, Newcastle - whose misery was compounded as defenders Mike Williamson and Daryl Janmaat picked up red cards in the second half - were woeful once again.
John Carver's team have lost eight matches in a row and sit just a point above upwardly mobile Leicester - with the visiting supporters making their feelings towards owner Mike Ashley known throughout.
