    This post has been recently updated to include the new myWW points for each plan. I also updated the recipe before because when I originally made this back in 2011, I had halved the recipe and never updated instructions for what pan to use. Whoops!

    It's pizza and pasta combined into one easy dish. Rotini pasta, pasta sauce, italian turkey sausage, low fat cheese, and turkey pepperoni. The original recipe for this had 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and by reducing the amount to 2 teaspoons, that reduced the fat greatly. I don't get why people think they have to use a ton amount of olive oil when sauteing vegetables or browning a big hunk of meat? I successfully browned chicken breast thighs with only 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

    If you like pizza and pasta then you'll really like this dish, and it almost reminds me of hamburger helper. I'm going to come up with my own taco pasta casserole using this method. Just think of all the different combinations you can come up with.

      This was quite good! My 5 year old loved it and has actually requested it for dinner again! Making it this week! I used our homemade Italian sausage which added another layer of flavor. Also I used with left over macaroni and ditalini noodles. Worked just as well!

      I made the recipe tonight but I found it very confusing as written. It calls for lean turkey sausage but on the bottoom instructions it says to brown ground beef and nothing about the turkey. Also I didn't want to make 2 - 9x 13 casserols or 4 - square ones so I cut all of the ingredients in half and used 1 - 9" square and put the recipe in the Weight Watcher Recipe Builder and it's 8 Points Plus Value for 4 servings.

      Divide the whole entire pan into 8 equal servings.
