I remember eating this at the Pizza Hut in Abilene, Texas in the early 70's. I craved it for years!! So glad to finally find the recipe. It is just how I remembered it. The sauce of course was not as sweet because I use low sugar sauce. There is a sauce out there that starts with a "P" that would make it a clone. Thank you so much!!!

For the 1/4 lb spiral shaped pasta, 1/4 lb shell noodles, and 1/4 lb wheel noodles, you can use a 12 oz bag of Wacky Mac Veggie Shapes pasta. This pasta is multicolored. Unfortunately, they do not offer the shapes in a natural color. I add 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained. I don't heat the spaghetti sauce, I just pour it over the pasta, the meats and the veggies. I've tried layering the ingredients. I end up with one layer. You really need a big pan to make this!! This makes a lot!!

I am a teacher who is near the end of my career. I have many craft interests and have just added cooking to my list. Since I like to keep a check on what DH eats I usually try to follow the WW diet and just love their cookbooks. Recipezaar has become the answer to my many cookbooks and recipes I gather and just can't seem to get organized. MMMMM maybe in retirement.
