Pizza Pasta Bake

This is one of those "Everybody Loves It" recipes.
My flabby butt loves it.
My sagging from birthin all them babies gut loves it.
My flapping in the wind upper arms love it.
My double triple chin loves it.

Oh don't look so scared!
You'll only have to do about 9 hours of aerobics to make up for eating it...
It's worth it!


Pizza Pasta Bake.
  • 1 lb penne, or bow tie pasta (you want to use a pasta that will remain kinda firm for baking)
  • 1 lb sausage, (I used our home-made breakfast sausage. Italian sausage would be great too!)

  • 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce (I used home-made)
  • 1/2 lb cubed cooked ham (optional)
  • 1/2-1 lb of sliced pepperoni
  • 3 (8 ounce) bags of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6-8 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I use 2 cloves chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
** Cook pasta in boiling water until al denté.

** Cook sausage, garlic powder and oregano with onions until the juices run clear.


** In a lightly greased 9x13x3 inch pan, pour a small amount of sauce to lightly coat bottom.
