2 cans diced tomatoes (14 oz.)
1 can tomato sauce (14 oz.)
1 can tomato paste (14oz.)
1 1/2 tsp. Johnny's seasoning
2 tsp. salt
2 cloves minced garlic
1 small onion chopped
1 small pkg mushrooms diced
1 T. olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 lbs ground chuck brown, drained
8 oz. raw angel hair pasta cooked, drained
8 oz. cream cheese at room temp
4 oz. sliced green olives

Combine diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Johnny's seasoning, salt, cloves in bowl. Saute onion and mushroom in oil. Add to bowl ingredients. In a large casserole dish layer 1/2 of combined sauce, all the pasta. Now spread cream cheese, green olives, parmesan cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/3 topping of pepperoni. Top with remaining sauce. Add another layer of pepperoni and 2 cups of mozzarella, then more pepperoni. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Broil for 5 minutes insuring casserole doesn't burn. Serve when warm. Be sure to back off table when served!!( smile).
