Ingredients
- 1 pound rotini pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 white onion (diced finely)
- 30 pepperonis (cut in half)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 jar marinara sauce (24 oz)
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded, divided)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
- 1 bunch Italian parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta to al dente based on the package instructions and drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Then add in the diced onions and cook for 3-5 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent. Then add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- Then add in the marinara sauce, sliced pepperonis, water and Italian seasoning. Stir until well combined. Bring the mixture to a low boil. Cover and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Then stir in the cooked pasta, 1 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat and cover the skillet to allow the meal to melt the cheese.
- Then top the meal with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and allow for it to melt.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley and enjoy!
