Pizza Spaghetti Casserole
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 ounces pepperoni sausage, sliced
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components.
2
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Apply a non-stick coating to a rectangular baking dish measuring 9 inches in width and 13 inches in length.
3
Heat a substantial container of salted water to its boiling point. Cook spaghetti within the boiling water, stirring periodically, until it reaches a suitable level of tenderness yet retains some firmness in the center, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
4
Combine 1/2 cup of mozzarella, milk, egg, salt, and garlic seasoning in a large mixing container.
5
Add cooked spaghetti to the bowl and blend until everything is fully incorporated. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and adjust the temperature to a moderate level of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
6
Spread spaghetti sauce over the noodle mixture. Sprinkle with oregano and basil, then cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella. Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
7
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and begins to develop a golden-brown color, approximately 30 minutes. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
