    Why you'll love this pizza casserole recipe

    • Pizza pasta casserole is a fun new way of using pizza ingredients.
    • One pot means minimal clean up
    • Use all your favorite pizza toppings in this dish

    Ingredients

    • rotini pasta
    • pasta sauce
    • mushrooms
    • yellow onion
    • pepper rings

    How to make pizza pasta bake

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    Add the sausage back into the skillet.

    Now, add the marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce and the cheese. I prefer to use marinara sauce because I prefer a thicker sauce with chunks of tomato.

    mozzarella

    Stir all of the ingredients together.

    Add the pepper rings to the mixture and stir.

    Add the cooked pasta and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.

      Such a lovely and easy comfort food dinner! We served it with a couple of green salads (just so we don't feel bad for indulging in cheese and pasta) and everyone in the family loved it! Will definitely make it again soon! 🙂
