PIZZA CASSEROLE

Ingredients:

• 1 jar (25 oz.) any style spaghetti sauce
• 1 pkg. (20 oz.) large shell macaroni
• 3.5 oz. sliced pepperoni, cut in quarters
• 3/4 C. sliced or quartered black olives
• 4 oz. each medium cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese, cut in half-inch cubes
• 3 to 4 oz. cheddar and mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Parmesean cheese

Heat spaghetti sauce slowly in medium sauce-pan. Meanwhile, cook macaroni according to package instructions until just al dente'. Drain pasta and transfer to a large oven-proof mixing bowl ( I use a large stainless steel mixing bowl). Add cheese cubes and mix well to start melting cheeses. Add pepperoni, black olives and continue to mix well. Add parmesean cheese to taste and mix in well. Top casserole with shredded cheeses. Bake in 350 degree oven (preheated) for 40 minutes or until cheeses browned and bubbly.

If desired, some of the pepperoni and olives may be reserved to decorate the top of chesses before baking to give appearance of a pizza.
