Life comes with a lot of hard decisions, like whether you should choose pizza or pasta for dinner. But with our Weeknight Pizza Casserole, you don’t have to decide at all – you get to have them both! With spicy pepperoni, chewy pasta, a savory meat-studded sauce, and plenty of cheese, it’s a different way to do pizza night, but it’s every bit as crave-worthy.

This bake starts with Italian sausage, pepperoni, some Italian seasoning, and mozzarella…

… that are folded into some marinara…

…and tossed with plenty of al dente penne.

That mixture heads into a baking dish where it’s topped with a generous helping of cheese and some more pepperoni before it heads into the oven.

As it bakes, the pepperoni crisp up and the cheese gets nice and melty, just like you’d expect on any good slice. You’re swapping noodles for crust here, but it’s the same flavor profile of your favorite pie in one comforting casserole. (And it’s even quicker than delivery!)
