pizza pasta bake

5-Ingredient Pizza Pasta Bake is a cheesy and decadent way to get your pizza fix. Simple and gluten-free!

5-Ingredient Pizza Pasta Bake

gluten-free penne pasta (could use rotini)

gluten-free marinara sauce

gluten-free mini pepperoni, sliced in half (I like Applegate Naturals)

can sliced black olives, drained

mozzarella cheese

provolone cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add pasta to a large pot of salted boiling water than cook a couple minutes before the pasta reaches the al dente stage (pasta will continue to cook in the oven.) Drain then set aside.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce into the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish. Spoon in half the pasta then spoon enough marinara sauce over top to cover. Sprinkle on half the pepperoni and black olives, and half the cheeses. Repeat layers then cover with a piece of foil sprayed very well with nonstick spray and place baking dish on top of a baking sheet.

Bake covered for 20 minutes then remove foil and bake for 10-15 additional minutes, or until cheese is golden brown. Let casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving.

This cheesy pepperoni pizza pasta bake is super simple with only 4 ingredients. It comes together fast, and it&#039;s family-friendly! 

Pizza Pasta Bake

penne

(24 oz.) marinara sauce (see note)

pepperoni

Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.

Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it 2 minutes less than package directions suggest. Once the pasta is done, drain it and return it to the pot it was cooked in, then stir in the marinara sauce and about 1/3 of the package of pepperoni.

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 baking/casserole dish and spread in an even layer.

Top with the mozzarella, then add the remaining pepperoni over top of the cheese.

Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, and then broil for a few minutes to crisp up the pepperoni and cheese (watch it carefully so it doesn&#039;t burn).

tomatoes

marinara sauce

Italian seasoning

tsp pepper

salt

chicken breast

cornstarch

water

pepperonis

pasta

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make them thin. To a large baking dish add the diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, and seasonings stir well. Place the chicken in the baking dish and coat with the sauce. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.

Make the cornstarch slurry. To a small bowl add the cornstarch and water and stir to combine. Once the chicken is out of the oven stir the cornstarch in and sprinkle the cheese and pepperoni on top bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

To a pot of boiling water add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. Drain and set to the side. Top the pasta with the chicken, pepperoni, and sauce enjoy!
