Yummy Pizza Casserole

I made dinner for 9 of us last night and this was a hit, although the Italian seasoning I used was a little spicy for the kids.

1 box mini-penne (can substitute whole wheat)
1 24 oz. jar Prego spaghetti saucse
5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 cup diced peppers (I used red, yellow and orange)
1 small can sliced black olives
1 small can mushrooms
Pepperoni
1 can Pillsbury garlic breadsticks
Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta for 7 minutes until al dente.  Drain well.
Mix pasta, sauce and 3 cups of mozzarella in large bowl.
Spray non-stick spray in large casserole dish and spoon mixture into dish.
Spread 1 cup mozzarella over casserole.
Sprinkle mushrooms and olives over top.
Use remaining 1 cup mozzarella and spread over mushrooms and olives (or any other toppings)
Top with Pepperoni and sprinkle with parmesan.

Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes.
Add garlic breadsticks around perimeter of casserole (twist 2 times before placing them).
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

YUMMY!

We served with salad and margaritas (milk for the kids).  You can use different pizza toppings and make a 1/2 and 1/2 to accommodate people's tastes.  It is a wonderful recipe.
