One Pot Pizza Pasta Bake

Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 8 ounces spicy Italian sausage, casing removed 1/2 cup mini pepperoni, divided 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 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

Instructions Preheat oven to broil. 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 1/4 cup pepperoni until heated through, about 1 minute. 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.

Remove from heat; top with mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup pepperoni. Place into oven and cook until melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
