What's In This Recipe?
Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Spaghetti (uncooked): Whole wheat, gluten-free, and whatever spaghetti you want can fit into this recipe!
Milk: I use full-fat milk. Wanna make this recipe creamy and cheesy? You gotta need milk in your ingredients then!
Eggs: Spaghetti? With eggs? Yup. You need that to mix the ingredients and create a custard-like texture.
Cheddar cheese: If you are looking for that tangy taste with a sharp cheesy note, you need cheddar cheese.
Mozzarella cheese: It adda creamy, gooey, and stretchy cheese toppings.
Pasta sauce: To make this recipe even more convenient, I use pre-made pasta sauce from the store . You can use pizza sauce instead.
Black olives: The black olives add a salty and savory flavor.
Tomatoes: Adds a pop of color and a fresh taste.
How To Make Pizza Spaghetti Casserole?
One: Heat the oven to 400°F / 204°C and spray a 15x10 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Four: Mix in half of the mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese until combined.
Five: Now, spread the mixture evenly into the casserole dish. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
