Instructions

Get prepped

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Make the sauce

  1. In a large skillet, cook brown the sausage and drain the fat off.
  2. Add the garlic and cook a further 30 seconds.
  3. Add the pasta sauce and Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer.

Cook the pasta

  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta slightly less than the package directions.

Assemble

  1. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with a little cooking spray, then pour a little of the sauce in the bottom.
  2. Add half the pasta, half the remaining sauce, sprinkle half the mozzarella over the sauce, and layer half the pepperoni slices on top.
  3. Repeat with remaining pasta, sauce, and mozzarella. Add the pepperoni over the top, and sprinkle with parmesan.

Bake

  1. Bake until bubbling and brown on top.

Notes

  • Be sure to not overcook the pasta, it will cook more when you bake, and you don’t want it to be mushy.
  • If using sausage links, remove from the casings and crumble as you cook.
  • Using turkey sausage and/or turkey pepperoni will reduce the fat in this recipe.
  • Any kind of short pasta can be used.
  • Add your favorite pasta toppings like olives, green bell peppers, mushrooms, onions or meatballs.
