Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Spaghetti
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 15 slices Pepperoni slices
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the spaghetti, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese and the prepared marinara sauce mixture. Mix until evenly coated.
Grease a large oven-safe baking dish and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly across the bottom.
Top the spaghetti with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and arrange the pepperoni slices across the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Let the Pizzaghetti cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh basil if desired.
