This recipe for skillet pepperoni pizza pasta is one of our own...we both love pizza (especially David!) and pasta so, we've decided to come up with our own one incorporating the ingredients from our easy pizza sauce recipe. The pizza sauce is delicious anyway...but with the addition of the onions, peppers and chopped pepperoni, it's seriously even more delicious!!
It's finished off with loads of grated mozzarella to make it stringy and cheesy and pepperoni slices...yum!
Please do give this skillet pepperoni pizza pasta recipe a try...and if you're not a fan of pepperoni, just miss it out for a vegetarian version, or add in any other protein you fancy, eg: chorizo, sausage, chicken...whatever you're favourite pizza toppings are.
We bought a new skillet pan from Amazon (see links below) with money we received at Christmas last year and are really pleased with it. It's been seasoned a couple of times in the oven and the more we're using it, the better it's getting.
