This easy Pizza Pasta Casserole combines all the best of two favorites in one dish, and it makes a perfect weeknight dinner!
Are you a sports fan? This weekend we hosted a BBQ at the park that happened to fall at the same time as the World Cup finals, and the turnout was low. We expected around 50 people, but the cancellations started coming in when people realized the unfortunate timing. I never know anything about what’s going on in sports, so it didn’t even occur to me to check for that. Apparently it’s important, so important that the party two tables down from us brought in a TV and a generator to watch the game! While other people are watching sports, I’d rather be spending my time writing up a recipe like this pizza pasta casserole for you. I love cheesy pepperoni pizza, and sausage pasta is one of my favorites too. This tasty casserole combines those two dishes, and it’s ready in about 30 minutes! This family friendly dinner is just right for weeknights, and it’s great leftover too. Give it a try for dinner soon and let me know how you like it!

Kellie says
We are leaving for the vacation in a week and Im trying to cool and freeze as much meals as possible. Will this freeze well?
Andi says
Hi, Kellie. To be honest, I don’t do a lot of freezer cooking, but I think this one would do well just like frozen lasagna. Let me know how it goes if you try it, and have fun on your vacation!

Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
I am drooling all over this pizza perfection! Easy, cheesy and full of delish carbs! ;) Pinning!
Andi says
Thanks, Taylor! I’m grateful that it’s so easy to find gluten-free pasta or I’d be in trouble!
Ashlyn says
This looks delicious, Andi. My son would go crazy for the pepperoni on top! We are big sports fans, but mainly football. I’ve never cared about soccer, so I had no idea the final game was happening on Sunday either! I had a babysitter coming so my husband and I could have a date day and he said, “Oh but the final game is today!” The babysitter actually arrived just a little while after the game ended, so it worked out. But yeah…I’d much rather eat this than watch soccer any day! :)
Andi says
Thanks, Ashlyn! I’m glad the timing worked out so you could still go on your date. I couldn’t believe how many people missed the party to watch the soccer game. Since I don’t care about sports or am happy to watch things recorded later, I just didn’t get it. Of course I’m the one going to the grocery store during the Super Bowl because it’s empty, so I’m hardly even an American! ;)
Michele @ Alwayzbakin says
This looks easy AND delicious! My family would love this.
Andi says
Thanks, Michele! I hope you get a chance to try it.
