Instructions

  1. In a large pot, prepare the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the box. 

  2. Spray a baking dish with cooking oil. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the bottom of the dish. I went ahead and put a layer of pepperoni and mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. 

  3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, and pour it back into your pot.  Add one whole jar of pizza sauce. Stir until combined. 

  4. Pour the pasta over the layers you've prepared in your baking dish. Spread the pasta as evenly as possible. Put another layer of pepperonis on the pasta. Add a layer of the remaining mozzarella cheese. Last, add any additional pepperonis to the top.
