Pizza Pasta Bake Recipe

In this post I’m sharing how to make a Pizza Pasta Bake Recipe.

Y’all, this one will please everybody. Most people like pizza, right? This easy recipe takes on a casserole form with pasta and your favorite pizza toppings with gooey melted cheese. I just love cheese!

With the exception of the pasta, pizza sauce & cheese – all of the other ingredients are optional. Why? Because you may like different pizza toppings.

If you’re a veggie lover, just omit the meats and use your favorite veggies. So you’re a meat lover, just leave out the veggies. Basically, just customize this to suit your taste.

Serve with a side salad and maybe some bread sticks and your meal is complete.

As a time saver, you can prep ahead. I cut up my veggies and sliced up the meats earlier in the day. You could do this the night before, cover and store in the refrigerator. When it’s time to cook, all you have to do is cook the pasta, mix it all together and put it in the oven.
 
Preheat oven to 350℉.
 
Cook pasta according to manufacturer directions. Typically, takes about 10 minutes.
 
Combine cooked pasta with veggies and meats. Give a quick stir to mix everything together.
