Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Pepperoni slices, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Gradually add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the tomato sauce, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue mixing until the fondue is smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the chopped pepperoni and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the pizza fondue to a fondue pot or a heat-safe serving bowl to keep it warm.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately with breadsticks, cubes of crusty bread, or crackers for dipping.
