Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 14-16 ounce can pizza sauce

  • 1 ¾ cup water

  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • 8 ounce dried bow-tie, rotini, or campanelle pasta

  • ¾ - 1 cup drained hot giardiniera (chop any large pieces)

  • ½ cup chopped hot and spicy pepperoni

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)

  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (4 oz.)

  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

  • ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a 4- to 6-qt. Dutch oven heat oil over medium. Add bell pepper. Cook about 5 minutes or until pepper is softened. Add tomato paste; cook and stir 2 minutes.

  2. Stir in pizza sauce, water, 1 tsp. of the oregano and the crushed red pepper. Bring to boiling over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Stir in pasta; return mixture to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until pasta is almost tender. Remove from heat.

  3. Stir in giardiniera and pepperoni. Gently fold in half of the mozzarella and half of the provolone cheese just until combined.

  4. Top with remaining mozzarella and provolone cheeses. If desired, top with additional pepperoni slices. Sprinkle with Parmesan, the remaining 1/2 tsp. oregano, and crushed red pepper. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
