Method

6 steps Oven 425°F 10 min prep · 30 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Cook

Step 2. Add Salt and Penne to the boiling water. Cook until just short of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs, then drain.
Step 3. Meanwhile, heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Bell Pepper and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
Step 4. Mix the drained pasta and peppers with Tomato Sauce and half the Pepperoni in a baking dish. Scatter Mozzarella and the rest of the Pepperoni over the top.
Step 5. Bake uncovered until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts and browns in spots, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Let the bake stand until the sauce settles, about 5 minutes, then serve.
