Ingredients of Baked Pizza Pasta
- You need 16 oz of Rotini noodles.
- It's 2 lbs of ground beef.
- You need 24 oz of spaghetti sauce (whatever brand you prefer. I used traditional Prego).
- Prepare 15 oz of Ricotta cheese.
- It's 14 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- It's 1 can of sliced black olives.
- It's 1/2 of yellow onion (minced).
- You need 1 pack of pepperoni.
In the prepared baking dish (or in a separate bowl), stir together uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, water, about ¾ of the package of pepperoni, and salt. Remove dish from oven, take off cover, and give the pasta a stir. The key to this pasta is a house style "pizza seasoning" with pepperonis on top. This is a great easy pasta dish to serve any night of the week.
