The only thing missing is the crust! Pizza toppings with pasta and sauce in a hot melty baked casserole! Customize with what YOU like on a pizza. Here I've used hamburger, and turkey pepperoni, with red onion and red pepper I serve this with garlic bread and a green salad. Pizza Hut used to have something like this on their lunch buffet...years and years ago!

Step 1

Cook your pasta 90 seconds short of tender, then drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, saute your Italian Sausage, onions, peppers and mushrooms together, just until sausage looses it's pink color. Drain any accumulated fat.
Step 3

In a large bowl, combine pasta, sauces, pepperoni, sausage with veggies, and olives.
Step 4

Turn out 1/2 of the mix into a large greased casserole. sprinkle half the parmesan, then half the mozerella over. Repeat with remaining mix, then parmesan, then mozerella.
Step 5

Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
