- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon homemade Italian seasoning
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup White Cheddar Cheese , shredded
- ½ cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce , plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese , shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook the pasta accordingly to package directions for al dente. Drain, toss with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

- Remove the sauce from heat and whisk in the white cheddar cheese.
- Toss in the pasta and chopped pepperoni.
- Transfer to greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish (or any 3-quart casserole, baking dish or cast iron skillet).
- Top with the reserved sliced pepperoni. Spoon marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
- Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with additional pasta sauce, cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
