To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free spaghetti, or another gluten-free pasta noodle.
The bell peppers can be replaced with your favorite vegetable pizza topping. This could be mushrooms, onions, green bell peppers, black olives or jalapeno peppers. You can use a cup of any of these toppings, or use multiple veggie toppings, combined for a cup of veggies.
The casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead of time. Cover and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake the casserole.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 5 days. The pasta can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
