Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 oz pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups pepperoni slices
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Stir in the pizza sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Combine the cooked egg noodles with the sausage and sauce mixture in the skillet, stirring until the noodles are evenly coated.
Pour half of the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the noodles.
Add half of the pepperoni slices in a layer over the cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodle mixture, cheeses, and pepperoni slices.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the Pizza Noodle Bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
