You’ll make it once and want to repeat it regularly because it’s simply... finger-licking good! Moreover, it can comfortably feed a family of three. Conclusion? Quick, plenty, and tasty.
What ingredients do you need?
To prepare it, you will need a package of larger pasta, a block of yellow cheese, and pizza toppings – depending on your preferences - ham, salami, sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, and optionally onions. The casserole must naturally "stick together". So, choose either tomato sauce or a mix of mayonnaise and 18% sour cream. The finishing touch will be the spices typically sprinkled on pizza, such as oregano.
Preparation method
How to prepare a pizza-style pasta casserole? Cook the pasta and let it cool. Then, transfer it to a heat-resistant dish. The chopped ham should also end up there. Cut the vegetables and lightly sauté them in a pan, then add them to the remaining ingredients.
Mix everything with the sauce and spices. Finally, grate the cheese and generously sprinkle it on top. Put the casserole in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes. And it’s ready.
