Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 4 ½ cups marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup mini pepperoni

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. (3 to 5 minutes) Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, garlic salt, oregano, onion powder, basil, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce mixture. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by the mini pepperoni.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

STORAGE & FREEZING
  • LEFTOVERS: To store leftovers, allow them to cool to room temperature. Then, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.
  • FREEZING: For longer storage, this casserole freezes really well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container, where it can last for up to 3 months.
  • REHEATING: When ready to eat, reheat or bake the casserole in a 350 degree oven until bubbly. If it is pre-baked, you can use the microwave in 30 second intervals. If the casserole is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
