Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the pasta mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese in an even layer, followed by the sliced pepperoni, black olives, and diced green bell pepper.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your WW Pizza Pasta!
