Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium yellow or white onion chopped
- 2 green bell peppers seeded and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
- salt and pepper
- 4 ounces sliced cooked pepperoni divided
- 2-14.5 ounce cans crushed tomatoes
- 8 ounce can tomato sauce
- 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 12 ounces dry rotini pasta
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
Instructions
- Boil pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat a deep 12-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Cook sausage or ground beef, stirring to break up, until heated through but not browned. Drain fat and return to pan.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to skillet.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover, and cook over medium heat until veggies are soft, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in half pepperoni, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings.
- Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir cooked pasta into sauce along with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; toss to combine.
- Top with remaining half pepperoni and half mozzarella cheese.
- Broil 1-2 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Notes
- Italian sausage - Hot or mild Italian sausage will work. You can also use ground beef if you prefer.
- Onion - White or yellow onion works best.
- Green bell pepper - Feel free to use another color of bell pepper.
- Pepperoni - I recommend using regular pepperoni, not a reduced-fat pepperoni, like turkey pepperoni. The flavor of reduced-fat pepperoni tends to get lost in the casserole.
- Tomato sauce - Tomato sauce is canned tomato puree.
- Rotini pasta - Another type of pasta, like penne pasta or mafalda, can be used.
- Mozzarella cheese - Use more or less to taste.
