PIZZA PASTA BAKE


I found this recipe on damndelicious.net and made just 
some minor adjustments. It is so tasty and easy.  You will need a skillet that is broiler proof.  If you don't have one, you can just pour the mixture into a broiler proof pan for the last step. Hope you like it. 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1  (5 ounce)package up mini pepperoni, divided
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in 1/2 the package of  pepperoni until heated through, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in tomato sauce, oregano, basil garlic powder, pasta and 1 1/2 cups water; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
  3. While pasta is cooking, turn on oven broiler,
  4. Remove from heat.  (Use a baking pain if your skillet is not broiler-proof). Top with mozzarella and remaining  pepperoni. Place into oven and cook until melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
