Pizza Pasta

Pizza Pasta

1 lb pasta of choice
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 jars spaghetti sauce
2 pkgs spaghetti sauce mix
8 oz cubed pepperoni, or mini pepperoni slices
2-3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
salt, pepper
2 Tbsp oil

Brown up the cubed pepperoni, or mini pepperoni slices, in the oil.  Add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 3 or 4 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook another minute.  Add the spaghetti sauce and sauce mixes.  Season the sauce with salt and pepper.  Cook on low while you cook up the pasta.  Boil the pasta until mostly cooked but so it still has a bite to it.  Drain.

In a 9X13 baking dish, pour 1/3 of the sauce in the bottom.  Put 1/2 the noodles on top.  Top with mozzarella cheese.  Add another 1/3 of sauce, 1/2 noodles, 1/3 sauce, and the rest of the cheese.  Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.  Broil for a few minutes at the end to brown up the cheese a little bit.  Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
