16 oz rotini
1 lb ground Italian sausage
24 oz spaghetti sauce
16 oz cottage cheese
2.25 oz canned black olives drained
4 oz can mushrooms drained
16 oz shredded mozzarella divided
6 oz pkg sliced pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 9X13 pan.
Boil pasta according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until evenly browned. Drain the grease. In a large bowl, combined the cooked pasta, spaghetti sauce and cooked sausage. Mix together in a large bowl. Pour half of the mixture into the 9X13.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, olives, mushrooms and 12 ounces of the mozzarella cheese. Spoon this mixture over the pasta in the pan.
Pour the remaining pasta over the cheese layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 4 oz of mozzarella. Top with pepperoni slices evenly spaced across the top of the casserole.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and heated all the way through. Serve immediately.
