Cook egg noodles and set aside.  Set oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a large casserole dish with olive oil. Mix all the other ingredients (except topping) together in a large bowl, then add cooked egg noodles and toss well to blend. Transfer into the baking dish.  Top with bread crumbs and more grated Parmesan then spray or drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until set.  Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
