This is a fast and simple recipe.

Ingredients
1 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. dried spaghetti
1 Tbsp. & 2 tsp. olive oil
1 C. Red pasta sauce
 1/2 C. chopped green bell pepper
2-3 tsp minced garlic ( I always use more garlic)
1 tsp of a creole seasoning ( I use Tony's)
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 1/2 C. cubed mozzarella cheese (~ 4oz)
1/2 C. chopped black olives
4 oz. of sliced mushrooms
4 eggs
1/2 C. Milk
3/4 C. Sliced pepperoni (turkey pepperoni if you like)
1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil add salt and spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain spaghetti and return to the pot. Toss spaghetti in 2 tsp. olive oil and set aside.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with the remaining olive oil and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine spaghetti, pasta sauce, bell pepper, garlic seasonings, crushed red pepper, mushrooms, olives & mozzarella toss to mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the casserole dish and pour egg mixture over the top. Arrange the sliced pepperoni in an even layer over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20-25 min. Remove from the oven and let stand for about 5 min.

Enjoy...
