Pizza Casserole

This recipe is a tweak from a recipe I found in a brand-name cookbook. (Brand name as in it recommended using Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Kraft cheeses, etc.)
It's essentially baked spaghetti but we call it Pizza Casserole.
3 oz pepperoni, quartered
1 small can sliced olives 
8-16 oz shredded mozzarella
2 cans spaghetti sauce, or two prepared spaghetti sauce mixes
12-16 oz spaghetti or fettucini, broken into 1/3s and cooked.

Put cooked noodles into a 9x13, add sauce, pepperoni, olives (can add peppers, mushrooms, etc) and cheese . Mix well, adding a bit of cheese to top. Cover and bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes to brown up the cheese on top. Serve with salad and bread. 

* its best to have a bit too much sauce than not enough!
