Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rotini work well)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups marinara or pizza sauce

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • 6 oz sliced pepperoni (reserve some for topping)

  • Optional: chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Cook pasta in salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and any optional veggies. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked pasta, half the mozzarella, Parmesan, and most of the pepperoni. Mix well.
  • Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and reserved pepperoni slices.
  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Make it spicy with hot pepperoni or a pinch of crushed red pepper.
  • Great for freezing — prep and freeze before baking, then bake straight from frozen (add 10–15 minutes).
  • Use mini pepperoni for easier bites or turkey pepperoni for a lighter version.
