Pizza Pasta Casserole

Pizza Pasta Casserole

This was a new recipe I tried for this month of meals in our home.  We had it last night for dinner and it was really good!  Even though you only half-cook the pasta when making it, by the time it freezes, thaws & bakes, it works!  Enjoy!  :o)

Makes 2 - 9x13s or 4- 8x8s

2 lb. ground turkey

1 large onion, chopped

2 jars (28 oz each) spaghetti sauce

16 oz. whole wheat spiral pasta - cook for half suggested cooking time on package & drain

4 c. shredded mozarella

6 oz. sliced pepperoni

Brown ground turkey and onion in large skillet until meat is thoroughly cooke.  Drain fat.  Add sauce and pasta, stir well.

Divide mixture in half and put on half in each 9x13 (or 4 8x8s).  Top each with 2 cups cheese, then top with pepperoni.

To Freeze:  Wrap with 1 layer of plastic wrap and then 1 layer of foil.  Freeze.

To Serve: Thaw completely (24 hours in fridge).  Bake uncovered 350 for 35-40 minutes until heated through.
