Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil and add in the rotini pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add diced green pepper and yellow onion, sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add Italian sausage and ground beef to the skillet, cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Combine sautéed vegetables and cooked meats with the rotini pasta in the stock pot, mixing well.
- Add pepperoni slices, parmesan cheese, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, and both jars of pasta sauce. Stir until well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with non-stick aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is golden.
- Let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Allowing the Cavatini to rest helps the layers set, making it easier to serve without falling apart.
