Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini)
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked pasta, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning until well combined. Add the diced bell pepper if using.
