Happy Saturday!! This is Tiffanee from One Crazy Cookie and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be guest posting her today. This is such an amazing blog!! Since it is a busy Satruday I am sharing with you one of my family’s all time favorites. The recipe makes 2 9×13 pans. So you make two and freeze one for later. It freezes very well.
Pizza Pasta
Makes 2 9×13 pans. If you don’t want to make 2 half the ingredients.
1 1/2 lb bow tie pasta
1 lb ground sausage
2-3 jars spaghetti sauce
1 package Canadian Bacon or 1/2 lb cooked and diced ham.
1/4 lb sliced pepperoni
6 Tbs. Parmesan cheese
1 lb grated mozzarella cheese
*optional: onions, mushrooms & olives
1. Cook Pasta until al-dente. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook and drain sausage (add and cook onions with sausage if desired)
3. Pour a small amount of sauce to lightly coat the bottom of a 9 x13 pan.
Layer ingredients:
1st layer: cover bottom with a layer of pasta, cover with sauce, mozzarella, 1 Tbs. Parmesan and top with sausage (can add sliced olives)
2nd layer: cover 1st layer with pasta.
Then cover with spaghetti sauce, mozzarella, 1 Tbs. Parmesan and top with ham. (can add sliced mushrooms).
Cover 2nd layer with the remaining pasta.
Cover with sauce, mozzarella, 1 tablespoon Parmesan and cover the top with pepperoni.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Take cover off and bake 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cover and freeze 2nd one.
Unthaw frozen one for 24 hrs in fridge before baking.
*It took me three jars of spaghetti sauce this time.
Thanks for this great recipe!! I put it in front of my kids and the first word out of their mouths was “Wow”! They each had 2 helpings (a lot for them). I added it to my meal blog and linked to you. http://www.mealsforreal.blogspot.com

I can’t have the bacon. Would it stand by itself without it?

Hi Tiffanee,
Love the pizza pasta – simple, kid friendly and love that an extra can be made for the freezer. I’m always looking for new ideas for freezer meals. Thanks for guest hosting today at Our Krazy Kitchen 🙂
Great and delicious recipe.
Wishing you a lovely weekend ♥
