Step 1

In a large skillet with a cover, combine pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and pepperoni.

Step 2

Over high heat, bring to a boil, add pasta, reduce heat to medium or medium-high (low boil), and cover. Cook covered for 8-10 minutes (using pasta directions as a guide) or until al dente, stirring occasionally to make sure all pasta gets cooked evenly.

Step 3

In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add spinach and cover. When wilted, stir into pasta.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded cheese, until melted.

Step 5

If desired, add extra cheese and pepperoni to top and broil under high heat until bubbling and golden brown.

Step 6

Garnish if desired with fresh parsley or basil.
