Pizza and pasta naturally go together, so why not combine the two dishes into a delicious pizza pasta casserole. This pizza pasta casserole has all of the flavors of cheesy pepperoni pizza with the addition of rotini pasta. It is the perfect cheesy casserole for a quick and simple weeknight dinner. It is so quick and simple to prepare for an easy weeknight dinner. Serve with garlic bread or a side salad to make an easy meal.
I used rotini pasta for this casserole, but any other small shaped pasta will work as well, such as elbow pasta or penne pasta. After the pasta is cooked and drained, it is then mixed with a jar of marinara sauce. Spread the pasta mixture out into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni slices. Top with dried oregano seasoning and bake until the cheese is fully melted.
