One Pot Pizza Pasta

One Pot Pizza Pasta – pasta cooked with Italian sausage, tomato basil sauce, pepperoni, and lots of cheese. It cooks in just one pot so it is the perfect easy weeknight meal the whole family will love!

Who else feels like life has been insane since school started?

Some days I look up and it’s 5 pm and I have no idea how it happened. It’s like, I’ve been busy all day and I haven’t had a single minute to think about dinner and maybe we’ll just have PB&Js and potato chips.

But gahhh, the guilt!

So I’ve been trying to plan more easy meals and my new favorite thing is easy one-pan meals that cook in less than 30 minutes. Like this One Pan Pizza Pasta!

Ingredients

• Olive oil – you can also use avocado oil or vegetable oil if you prefer.
• Turkey Italian sausage – I like to use turkey Italian sausage to keep this pasta a little lighter but you can use pork. Just make sure to drain off the fat if necessary.
• Onion
• Garlic
• Pepperoni – I used mini pepperoni in this recipe but you can use regular pepperoni. You may want to cut regular sized pepperoni into quarters if you are using them.
• Tomato basil pasta sauce – use your favorite homemade or store-bought pasta sauce.
• Rotini pasta – you can use any small pasta shape such as elbows, shells, or penne.
• Italian blend cheese – this will have any mixture of mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, and Provolone.

How To Make One Pot Pizza Pasta

• Cook sausage and aromatics. Cook sausage and onion in oil; cook breaking up the sausage, until the sausage is cooked completely and the onion is soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add remaining ingredients. Add pepperoni. Add pasta sauce and water and stir until combined. Stir in pasta.
• Boil. Bring to a boil. Boil about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add cheese. Stir in the cheese. Serve immediately.

How Long Is It Good For?

This pizza pasta will be good for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Reheat it in the microwave when you are ready to serve.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze this pasta for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely and then put it in an airtight container.

When you are ready to serve it, let it defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat as desired.
