PEPPERONI PIZZA PASTA
I have MTV's "Teen Mom" to thank for introducing me to the idea of pizza-inspired pasta. As simple as the concept may seem, why had this culinary creation never crossed my mind? My version here is a spin on baked rigatoni, and it's loaded with all of my favorite pizza toppings, including pepperoni, green bell peppers and Italian sausage, so this is not for the faint of heart (or meat). But the real beauty here is that exactly like a pizza, this pasta can be customized to your preferences with any pizza topping imaginable. If you'd put it on a pizza, you can put it in pizza pasta!

Add the sausage and cook, breaking apart the sausage with a spatula, until browned and cooked throughout, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, good quality pepperoni, and a flavorful pasta sauce will make all the difference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
- Cook the pasta until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat. This will help the pasta absorb the sauce and flavors.
- Top with pepperoni, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Then, bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the pizza pasta to cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
