Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 oz pizza sauce
- 4 oz pepperoni
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the pizza sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the pizza sauce mixture, tossing to coat the noodles evenly.
Transfer the spaghetti mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the spaghetti mixture, followed by the grated parmesan cheese.
Layer the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, then scatter the black olives and diced green bell peppers over the pepperoni.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of pizza and spaghetti!
