Quick Dinner Tonight


So...tonight we needed a quick fix dinner and Pepperoni Pasta is just the thing for this family!  This recipe can be altered so many ways, depending what you have on hand at home.  Add vegetables, chicken, or different cheese for variety.  Its so easy I often make prepare while the kids are eating breakfast or lunch, then keep in the fridge until dinner.  It makes a solid 8 x 13 pan...leftovers are goooood.

1 box of penne pasta (or any version of your favorite whole grain pasta, of course)
1 jar pasta sauce (your favorite!)
1 bag of fine shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package of turkey pepperoni

Cook noodles.  Chop pepperoni into small pieces.  Combine cooked noodles, chopped pepperoni, pasta sauce and half bag of mozzarella into bowl and mix well.  Pour into baking pan and top with remaining mozzarella.  Cook at 350 for 15-20 minutes.  Enjoy!

*Thanks to Jessica for turning me on to this go-to recipe!
