Pizza Pasta Bake

Note:  I made each recipe into two 8x8 pans.

• 1 lb. penne rigate or mostacolli, fully cooked and drained
• 1 c. ricotta cheese
• 3 c. marinara sauce (homemade or from a jar)
• 30 slices pepperoni or 1 pound turkey sausage
• 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 c. sliced black olives
• 1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Combine hot pasta with ricotta cheese and stir until cheese is melted and smooth. Pour into a 13×9 casserole dish.
2. Pour marinara sauce over pasta. Top with pepperoni, mushrooms and olives. Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
3.  Cover in foil and seal in gallon zip-loc bag.  Freeze.
4. Thaw.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through and cheese is melted.
