Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-
2 tablespoon tomato paste
-
1 15-16 ounce can pizza sauce
-
1 ½ cup water
-
1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
-
8 ounce dried wagon wheel or rigatoni pasta
-
½ cup miniature pepperoni slices
-
¼ cup chopped pickled pepperoncini peppers
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)
-
1 cup shredded provolone cheese, shredded (4 oz.)
-
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
-
Crushed red pepper (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a 4- to 6-qt. Dutch oven heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers. Cook about 5 minutes or until peppers are softened. Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
-
Stir in pizza sauce, water, and 1 tsp. of the oregano. Bring to boiling over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Stir in pasta; return mixture to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 to 18 minutes or until pasta is almost tender. Remove from heat.
-
Stir in pepperoni and pepperoncini. Gently fold in half of the mozzarella and half of the provolone cheese just until combined.
-
Top with remaining mozzarella and provolone cheeses. If desired, top with additional pepperoni slices. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/2 tsp. oregano, and crushed red pepper (if using). Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Hawaiian Pizza Pasta
Prepare as directed, except omit the red bell pepper. Substitute chopped Canadian bacon for the pepperoni and fold in one 8-oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained, with the cheeses in Step 3.
