Pepperoni Pasta

Do you ever have those nights where dinner just isn't going to happen unless you crack open the blue box? Yeah, you know what box I'm talking about, Kraft Mac and Cheese! Embarrassing to admit, but last night was one of those nights.

Lucky for you, I have several dinners and recipes on stand-by for just such nights! This one is something I make every-so-often. I have always liked how easy this recipe is to throw together and into the oven. It is perfect for an easy meal at home, to take into a neighbor who is having a rough time, or just for an easier night in the kitchen.

Here's to a night in without all the work that is sometimes associated with eating at home. :)

Pepperoni Pasta:
1-16 oz. pkg. pasta, I usually use rotini, small shells, or elbow noodles, but use whatever is on-hand
1 jar pasta sauce
pepperoni slices
1-2 c. mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13" pan by greasing the bottom and the sides. Boil a pot of water, and cook pasta according to package directions. When the noodles are cooked to al dente, drain and toss into the pasta sauce, and put into the prepared 9x13" pan. Place a layer of pepperoni slices on top, as many as desired, and then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Put your pasta into the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
