PEPPERONI PIZZA PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Let 1 pound pizza dough come to room temperature if refrigerated, at least 1 1/2 hours.
• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.
• Place the pizza dough on a silicone baking mat or sheet of parchment paper and stretch and roll into a 15x10-inch rectangle about 1/3-inch thick.
• Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals or in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, if using, and stir to combine. Brush 2/3 of the mixture onto the dough; reserve the remaining to brush on top of the baked loaf.
• Place 5 ounces pepperoni on the dough in an even layer, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle with 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Starting with a long side, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Position seam-side down and diagonally across the silicone mat or parchment. Transfer the log, still on the mat or parchment, onto a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Brush on the roll.
• Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Brush with the remaining seasoned butter and sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese on top. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces and serve with pizza sauce or ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, garlic and green bell pepper. Drain excess fat. Stir in the noodles, pepperoni, pizza sauce and milk, and mix well. Pour this mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, top with the cheese, then bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
