Pepperoni Pizza Casserole

Ingredientes

8 ounces (about 3 cups) uncooked spiral pasta

1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed) or ground beef (I used hot turkey Italian sausage)

4 cups spaghetti sauce

1 (4-ounce) can mushrooms, drained

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (6-ounce) package sliced pepperoni

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (I used pre-shredded Italian blend cheese)

Instruções

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On the stovetop, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain. Return the pasta to the pot.

Meanwhile, in a saute pan over medium heat, cook the sausage; drain. Add the sausage, spaghetti sauce and mushrooms to the pasta and stir to combine. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and half the pepperoni slices.

Spread pasta mixture into a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Top with the mozzarella cheese. Arrange remaining half of pepperoni slices over top. Bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
