* =
1-1/2 C. pepperoni is about a 5 oz. stick, sliced
** = 2 C. is about 8
oz. of dry pasta
Assembly Directions:
Combine pepperoni and water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain
and set aside. Cook pasta according to package
directions. Meanwhile, melt the margarine in a
skillet. Add the onion and sauté until soft. Stir in
the tomato sauce. Drain the mushrooms, and add them.
Add the oregano and basil. Stir to combine and
remove from the heat. Drain the pasta and put it in
a 9” x 13” pan, or a 3 quart casserole dish. Add the
Parmesan cheese to the pasta, and toss well.
Sprinkle with 1 C. mozzarella cheese. Scatter
pepperoni slices over the top. Cover with the
tomato-onion sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 C.
mozzarella cheese.
Freezing Directions:
Cover unbaked casserole with wax paper, and then
foil. Put the whole dish in a 2 gallon freezer bag,
if desired. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw at least overnight in the refrigerator. Bake
uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until
bubbly and lightly browned.
Comments:
Boiling the pepperoni removes most of the grease, as
well as tenderizes it. The difference in taste and
texture is worth the extra step to boil it! My
family loves this recipe… I hope yours will too!
