1 small Pkg Sargento Capri cheese shredded (this is an old recipe, they maybe don’t
make this anymore, Use any kind of mozzarella cheese)
SIMMER 2 hours

Meanwhile, cook
2 Pkgs mosticollo noodles (don’t use Creamette brand they are to mushy) (even though
they come from St Paul
Put in big roaster pan (you might have to buy one of those aluminum turkey roasters)

ADD
All of the sauce
BAKE 1 hour uncovered 350’
ADD 1 pkg sliced pepperoni while in the oven
PS You might have to add part of the remaining can of tomato juice if it gets too dried
out. It depends on the noodles and the oven.

This was a favorite served at post-game parties for the STA Cadets football games.
