  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cups sliced and quartered pepperoni
  • 16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 cup rigatoni pasta
  • 1 cup rotini pasta
  • 1 cup macaroni
  • 1 pound ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Place green pepper, onion, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomato paste, spaghetti sauce, and garlic in a large saucepan. Cover and let simmer for one hour.
  • First, bring a generously salted large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Next, cook the pasta in the boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes until it is perfectly al dente; then, drain it.
