This is a recipe I made out of left-over ingredients in my fridge and pantry. I'm already thinking of ways to change it and make it better for next time. Since we had so many pizza toppings left over, I decided to try turning them into a casserole! It would be easy to incorporate all of your favorite pizza toppings and make this your own! If the points are too high for you, you could use less cheese or leave out the pepperoni and make it a vegetarian casserole by adding green pepper, mushrooms and spinach.
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups of Barilla Plus Rotini Pasta (Aldi now makes their own brand of plus pasta!)
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar (6 servings) of marinara sauce
26 slices of pepperoni (I used regular, but you could use turkey pepperoni to make it even lower in points)
dried oregano or italian seasoning
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook pasta on stove top until almost soft; leave slightly al dente. Drain pasta and pour it into a greased baking dish. Pour pasta sauce over top. Slice 16 of the pepperoni slices into small squares; add to casserole dish. Add one cup of the cheese. Stir well. Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese evenly over top and arrange the last 10 pepperoni on top. Sprinkle with desired amount of oregano or italian seasoning. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese melted.
