my bunch loves pepperoni pasta casserole
16 ounces dry spiral pasta(you can use another type if you would rather)
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 ground sausage browned & drained.
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 cans of pizza sauce
1 cup of water
4 ounces pepperoni sausage, sliced
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
3.In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no pink shows; drain.
4. Layer starting with a little sauce and ending with sauce in a 9x13 inch pan or baking dish: pasta, ground beef, browned sausage, bell pepper, onion, pizza sauce and pepperoni; blend well. After it's layered pour the water around the edge no directly on the sauce.
5.Bake for 45 minutes or until till is heated through. Top with shredded cheese and let it set in oven for a few minutes till melted. Please let the casserole set for at least 45 minutes don't cut it immediately. It's even better the next day!

What about parmesan cheese or shredded cheese for pasta, dip for bread, & chocolate / caramel sauce for fruit
Maybe a cold pasta salad.
Spaghetti.
Roasted red potatoes with butter and rosemary.
A pesto pasta salad

Sausage and peppers (you could always get the turkey sausage for the more healthy approach).
Good luck.
