Indulge in a flavorful Italian chicken and spaghetti timballo bursting with pizza-inspired ingredients like pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and gooey mozzarella.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast meat, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 (7 ounce) package of sliced pepperoni, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 (5 ounce) can mushroom pieces, drained
  • 1 (3 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously coat the bottom of a cast iron skillet or large baking dish with olive oil.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta.
  • Combine spaghetti, marinara sauce, diced chicken, onion, pepperoni, green pepper, mushrooms, and black olives in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to a prepared cast iron skillet. Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Bake in the hot oven until the casserole is bubbling, chicken is fully cooked, and the cheese topping is lightly browned, approximately 30 minutes.
