Instructions
- Boil pasta according to directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile while pasta is boiling, heat a large, oven-proof deep skillet over medium heat, and add oil. Cook the sausage, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer.
- Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper, tomatoes, and chopped pepperoni. Scrape up browned bits at the bottom of the pan and simmer for 5 mins. Preheat the broiler.
- Stir in the half the cooked pasta and ½ cup mozzarella cheese. Toss to combine then add remaining cooked pasta. Toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese and pepperoni slices. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until pepperoni crisps and cheese bubbles. Serve immediately.
