8 ounces spiral pasta (any short cut pasta will do)
½ cup tomato, diced
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil.
On medium-high heat, heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet.
Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as you go. This takes about 3-5 minutes. Drain the excess fat.
Mix in half of your pepperoni until heated through, about 1 minute.
Mix in the sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, diced tomato, pasta (uncooked) and 1½ cups hot water.
Bring this mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pasta is completely cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat; top with mozzarella cheese and remaining pepperoni.
Place into oven, uncovered, just until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on this so the cheese doesn't burn - you want it just melted!
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil for some color and added flavor (optional). Enjoy!
