Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large pot bring salted water to a boil for pasta.  Follow box directions for cooking pasta.  
While the water is heating and pasta is cooking, add the sausage to a hot skillet and begin to crumble it up as it cooks, add the onions and mushrooms,  cook them down to remove juices, browning slightly.  
 When the veggies  and sausage are almost ready, add 1 tsp crushed garlic to pan and the fresh ripped spinach.  Cook till spinach is completely wilted.   
I added garlic cloves
When the pasta is cooked and drained return to the large pot, add the 3 cans of tomatoes into bowl, add the garlic salt and Italian seasoning.  Stir to combine.   When the veggies and sausage are cooked add them to the large pot also and stir to combine.  Pour in about 1/2 -3/4 cup shredded mozzarella (or other favorite pizza cheese), and 1/2 of the sliced olives into the pasta mix and toss to combine, then pour into a 9 x 13 pan.  
Cover with pepperoni, cheese and olives
Bake approximately 20-25 minutes till cheese is bubbling and the pepperoni is slightly crispy!
