This dinner was super easy and the kids loved it. It also made enough that we’ll have leftovers for lunch one day this week. Leftovers are so rare around our house that I always get a little excited when I make a dish that we don’t actually finish in one meal.
I opted to use pizza toppings that we all like, but I’m sure you could substitute your favorites.
Pizza Pasta Bake
- 1 lb. penne rigate or mostacolli, fully cooked and drained
- 1 c. ricotta cheese
- 3 c. marinara sauce (homemade or from a jar)
- 30 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms (I used canned, but only because that’s what I had on hand)
- 1/2 c. sliced black olives
- 1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1. Combine hot pasta with ricotta cheese and stir until cheese is melted and smooth. Pour into a 13×9 casserole dish.
2. Pour marinara sauce over pasta. Top with pepperoni, mushrooms and olives. Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through and cheese is melted.

that looks delicious. Now if I can only get my 6yo to like pepperoni, and we’ll be set
Might be able to subsitute italian sausage.

This looks very good and sounds good too. Heading to the store to purchase the ingredients. I plan to add sliced bell pepper, onions and some sauteed eggplant. I am so glad I added your blog to the list I read.
