This hearty casserole combines the best parts of a classic supreme pizza into a comforting dish that’s perfect for family dinners or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rotini or penne pasta, cooked al dente
  • 2 cups pizza sauce
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup black olives
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini or penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Dice the bell peppers, slice the mushrooms, and drain the black olives.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with pizza sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
  6. In a prepared 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the pasta mixture. Layer with half of the sausage, veggies, pepperoni, and cheeses. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

[‘Cook pasta just until al dente to avoid sogginess.’, ‘Spread cheese evenly across layers for consistent flavor.’, ‘Cover the casserole initially to keep it moist, then uncover for a bubbly cheese finish.’, ‘Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.’]
