Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Spaghetti
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 lb Italian Sausage
- 1.5 cups Pizza Sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni Slices
- 0.5 cup Bell Peppers (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Black Olives (sliced)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
- 0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat completely.
Press the spaghetti mixture evenly into the greased baking dish to form a 'crust.'
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the spaghetti crust.
Layer the cooked sausage over the pizza sauce, followed by an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top with pepperoni slices, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives. Sprinkle dried oregano over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
