- 1 pound cubed ham
- ½-1 pound pepperoni
- 1 pound farfalle pasta
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, diced, about 1 ½ cups
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 (26-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 3 (8 ounces) bags shredded mozzarella cheese, 24 ounces

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 casserole dish with pan spray. Set aside.

- Add just enough of the 2 (26-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce to the bottom of the casserole dish to thinly coat the bottom. For the first layer of the casserole, add ⅓ of the pasta, ⅓ of the spaghetti sauce, 8 ounces (about 2 cups) of the 3 (8 ounces) bags shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons of the 6 tablespoons parmesan cheese,and the sausage mixture.
- For the second layer, add ½ of the remaining pasta, ½ of the remaining sauce, 8 ounces of mozzarella, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, and 1 pound cubed ham
- For the third and final layer, add the remaining pasta, the remaining sauce, the remaining mozzarella, the remaining parmesan, and top with ½-1 pound pepperoni.
- Bake the casserole for 40 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is browning. Allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
