I needed a quick one-skillet dish to put on the table. I thought if I added pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese to pasta, it might appeal to my daughter's selective palate. I was right! Since it tasted like pizza and was topped with gooey cheese, it was an instant hit. Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked spiral pasta |
1 pound ground beef |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree |
1/2 cup diced pepperoni |
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, mushrooms and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato puree, pepperoni, sugar and seasonings; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
2. Drain pasta; stir into meat mixture. Heat through. Sprinkle with cheese. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
