BAKED ZITI WITH SAUSAGE AND PEPPERONI RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Baked Ziti with Sausage and Pepperoni Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by CarlaKay

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces thin-sliced pepperoni
1/2 pound italian sausage, casing removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes with their juice (one 16-ounce can)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1/2 pound ziti
8 ounces shredded mozzarella
1/3 cup shredded parmesan
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large frying pan, sauté the pepperoni over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off the fat from the pan and wipe the pan clean. In the same pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the sausage and cook until no longer pink. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, breaking them up. Add the salt,oregano, and basil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ziti until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce, the pepperoni, and the parsley. Top with the mozzarella and finish with the parmesan. Cover and bake about 30 minutes or until cheeses are melted and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pepperoni and sausage: The better the quality of the meats, the better the pizza will be. Look for pepperoni and sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't just stick to pepperoni and sausage. Try adding other toppings like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives. You can also add a different type of cheese, like mozzarella or provolone.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy. Add just enough toppings so that each bite has a good balance of flavors.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust. The ideal temperature for baking pizza is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the knife.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make a delicious pepperoni and sausage pizza that will be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
