Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped black olives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, toss with olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl with the egg mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Spread the spaghetti mixture in an even layer at the bottom of the dish to form the 'crust.'
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the spaghetti crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce.
Add a layer of pepperoni slices, followed by the chopped green bell pepper and black olives if using.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few extra pepperoni slices for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Spaghetti Pizza Casserole!
