1. Cut the pound of pepperoni in quarters using the serrated knife and cutting board.
Note: Remember to be very careful using a knife. Use rubber gloves if you would like to take extra precaution.
2. Turn one of the burners on your stove to medium (number 5 in this case), and place the large pan directly on it.
3. Place the pound of ground meat on the hot pan. Chop the meat with the flat edge spatula while it cooks. For best results, cover the pan with a lid to allow for better cooked meat. Keep the burner on medium heat, and cook until the meat turns brown.
Edgar 5 Note: Please wash your hands after handling the ground meat. Disease can occur, and the final dish will be contaminated. It is also important to wash the spatula and dishes that are used while cooking the ground meat.
4. Turn on another burner to high heat and place the large pot (half filled with water) on it.
5. Add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water. The salt will keep the noodles from sticking together and create the most optimum texture.
6. Measure out 1 cups of each type of pasta (cavatappi, bow ties, and elbows). Dump the combined pasta into the bowling water.
Edgar 6 Note: Be careful adding the salt and pasta into the boiling water. Serious burns can occur while stirring the pasta.
Tip: Leave the burner temperature on medium high to cook the pasta. This will usually take around 10 minutes to cook, and will overflow of water in the pot.
7. Drain the ground meat in the colander until most of the water has saturated out. Dump the dried ground meat into the mixing bowl, and immediately wash out the colander for pasta use.
8. Once the pasta is fully cooked, drain it into the clean colander until the water has saturated out. Add the three-shaped pasta into the mixing bowl.

9. Add the chopped pepperoni and two 24 ounce tomato sauce jars to the mixing bowl.
10. Mix the bowl thoroughly for 5 minutes, or until the ingredients are distributed evenly.
1. Fill the casserole dish halfway with the mixed ingredients. Measure 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and evenly spread it on top of the first layer.

2. Repeat the same step and create a second layer, filling the casserole dish to the top, with another lining of cheese (1 cup).
3. Place a strip of aluminum foil over the casserole dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Note: At this point, place the remaining mixed ingredients in a closed container (aluminum foil dish) and store it in the freezer. When needed, the container can be defrosted and placed in the oven, while following the rest of the instruction set.

4. When the oven is preheated, place the casserole dish inside and set the kitchen timer to 45 minutes.
Note: Remember to use to the oven-mitts when operating an oven to avoid serious burns. Stand as far back as possible when opening the oven door.
5. When the timer goes off, use the oven mitts and take out the finished Pizza Pasta casserole. Remember to turn the oven off as soon as possible, and let the casserole cool for at least 5 minutes.
Tip: To stay clean and keep your roommates/family happy, wash the dishes while the casserole cools.
