Zapped onions and bell peppers for a couple of minutes in the microwave and included them with the pepperoni as toppers for this dish. Used leftover hamburger spaghetti sauce and needed to add an additional 14 ounce can of tomato sauce for moisture, which turns out to be very important in this dish's success. Wonderful way to recycle leftovers into something new. ETA: this recipe is now in our regular rotation of weekly recipes. We've made it several times now and have enjoyed it each time.

The flavors were fine, but this turned out to be very dry. The spaghetti I used was that Barilla Plus, so maybe that made a difference? I subbed canned mushrooms, left off the green peppers, and added about half a pound of ground beef into the sauce layer. If I tried this again, I'd add a lot more sauce. Thanks anyway.

OH..MY..GOODNESS...This is some delicious recipe! I think I made more pasta than it called for...so I used 2 eggs and made it with seasoned tomato sauce, and two cans of whole mushrooms, also, I sprinkled mozza cheese on top of the spaghetti before adding the sauce and then again on top, since I made a larger amount of spaghetti than called for, I couldn't fit it into a regular 9-in pie plate so I made it in a deep dish casserole .....WOW! it was sooooooo good. Thanxs for such a wonderful-tasting recipe MarieAlice, I will be sure to keep this one in my 5 star folder :-)
