Cavatini

Makes 1 very large casserole

4 c. dry rotini noodles (or macaroni or wagon wheel pasta)

2 lbs. ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 (3 oz.) package sliced pepperoni

2 (4 oz.) cans mushrooms, drained

1 (4 lb.) jar Ragu spaghetti sauce

1 (12 oz.) package grated mozzarella cheese, divided

Cook noodles and drain. Set aside. Saute hamburger, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms until vegetables are tender. Drain. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients, reserving 2/3 of the cheese. Pour into a 4 quart casserole dish or two 13 X 9 inch glass baking dishes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it.  ~Author Unknown
