This is an emergency post. We’ve had a pizza casserole recipe on the blog since it first began, almost 17 years ago. Until now. I went to pull it up for dinner one night a few weeks ago and it was gone. Where did the pizza casserole recipe disappear to?!

I still have no idea what happened, but thankfully I still had the recipe with one change, we ONLY use our homemade pizza sauce. You’ll have to trust me on this one, it totally transforms the dish from good to amazing.

Every time I ask my kids for dinner ideas, they always say pizza…every single time. I love pizza as much as the next person (four cheese margherita pizza, pizzeria pizza dough, pesto pepperoni and sausage pizza), but homemade pizza takes time and planning ahead. Let me be honest, sometimes I’m not that on the ball. Pizza pasta casserole to the recipe! It tastes like you are eating pizza but it’s on the table from start to finish in less than an hour.

• Pasta: We use rigatoni but any pasta will work fine. I’d recommend a big hearty noodle for the best texture.
• Mozzarella: The best melty cheese for pizza.
• Pepperoni: any brand of pre-sliced pepperoni works great
• Parmesan Cheese: adds bold pizza flavor
• Sliced Black Olives: totally optional but I love olives so they are a must for me
