Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 grams ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 20 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 small, diced green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup, sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti and the sauce mixture. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
Spread half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, half of the diced green bell peppers, half of the black olives, and 10 slices of pepperoni.
Add the remaining spaghetti mixture on top, then layer with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, the rest of the bell peppers, black olives, and the remaining pepperoni slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Pizza Spaghetti Style!
