Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 16 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (6 oz) bag pepperoni, divided
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese, grated and divided
  • 2 (24 oz) jars marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta 2 minutes less than package directions call for. Drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, brown sausage in a large skillet until cooked through. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Set aside half of the pepperoni for the topping. Chop the remaining half into chunks.
  • To the pasta, add the sausage, marinara, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and 1 cup of the Mozzarella cheese.
  • Pour pasta into baking dish, top with remaining mozzarella, and then arrange pepperoni in rows across the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until cheese is melted and pepperoni is crispy, 20-25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
