PEPPERONI PIZZA PASTA



Pepperoni Pizza Pasta image

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!

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces medium shell pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
3/4 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy), casings removed
3 cups homemade or store-bought tomato sauce
3/4 cup sliced pepperoni
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, add the olive oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-low heat. Once the oil is warm, add the onions, bell peppers and a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking apart the sausage with a spatula, until browned and cooked throughout, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the tomato sauce then add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the pepperoni to the pot; stir to combine.
  • Transfer half of the pasta to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, top with half of the mozzarella, then top with the remaining pasta, followed by the remaining mozzarella, then the remaining 1/4 cup pepperoni.
  • Bake the pasta until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Remove the baked pasta from the oven and serve.

MAGIC FRESH TOMATO SPAGHETTI, PASTA OR PIZZA SAUCE



Magic Fresh Tomato Spaghetti, Pasta or Pizza Sauce image

Check out this trick - a whole, unpeeled tomato goes in the pot, and a tasty, seed-free, peel-free tomato sauce comes out! Okay, well, maybe it's not really magic, but it's a great trick to save you from having to peel, chop, and de-seed all those tomatoes (which is the reason I almost never made sauce from my garden tomatoes until now). We'll take care of the peels and seeds with a blender/food processor and a fine mesh strainer. Yes, a couple of extra things to clean, but it's still faster than all that peeling and chopping! Also, because the peels are cooked in the sauce, you preserve more of the nutrients in them. This is a highly customizable recipe (really more a framework than anything else) - make it smooth or chunky, with meat or vegetarian, regular or low-sodium, or even use it to hide a few extra veggies (a tip for you parents of picky children - you can make them completely undetectable). The quantities are inexact because there's so much variation in the size, taste and texture of fresh tomatoes, and anything else you add will change the flavor. So you really have to adjust the seasonings and other ingredients to compensate. This is part of the art of making tomato sauce, but don't be intimidated! Just add a little bit at a time until it tastes right to you, remembering the axiom: "You can always put more in, but you can't take it back out." Unless you have a real magic wand, of course. :) NOTE: The quality of tomatoes will make or break this sauce; you MUST use fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market, not the variety you find in the grocery store that's been shipped in from another state.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 quarts, 20-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
5 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and slightly crushed (may substitute jarred)
1 (10 ounce) can condensed beef broth (may substitute chicken or vegetable)
3/4 cup red wine (may substitute white, or extra broth)
20 whole fresh tomatoes (exact quantity varies based on size)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste (may need more depending on thickness desired)
herbs, to taste (I recommend basil and oregano, fresh or dried)
salt and pepper, to taste
meat (optional)
vegetables (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and cook until onions are slightly soft and golden, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in broth and wine, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, wash tomatoes. Cut off tops and any damaged parts. Add whole tomatoes to the pot as you go (reserve extra tomatoes to peel, dice and add later if you want a chunky sauce). Note: when I make this, I add however many tomatoes will fit in my 6-quart pot - you will adjust other ingredients later so the exact quantity doesn't matter.
  • You may add extra uncooked veggies you wish to "hide" in the sauce now. Some ideas - peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, even a little spinach. Be aware that it may slightly alter the color of the sauce - it can make it a little more orangey - but the tomatoes and seasonings will completely mask the flavor as long as you don't go overboard and add too much.
  • When all the tomatoes have been added and the broth is boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about an hour, and then turn off heat.
  • Ladle sauce into a blender or food processor until about 2/3 full - you will need to work in batches. It will be soupy and very hot, so be careful. Process until smooth (there will still be some seeds visible).
  • Pass sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Use a spoon to scrape the sides of the strainer if it clogs, and press all the liquid out. Discard the seeds and pulp from the peels that are left in the strainer. Carefully return sauce to the pot, and place back on medium-high heat.
  • Add tomato paste until sauce is of desired thickness. Add seasonings to taste. Add any additional ingredients you want - diced tomatoes, browned beef or chicken, mushrooms, etc.
  • Return sauce to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for another 30-60 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. If sauce is too tangy, you can add a little sugar to balance it. It will be done when it tastes just right!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking pasta or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add salt to taste: Pasta and vegetables should be salted to taste. This means tasting them as they cook and adding more salt as needed.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta is mushy and unappetizing.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in many Italian dishes. Make sure you use a good quality olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Italian cooking is all about using fresh, simple ingredients to create delicious dishes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique dishes.
