Total Time 45 minutes mins

Servings 6 Serves

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 lb. Italian Sausage
• 1/2 Onion, Minced
• 1/2 Bell Pepper, Chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
• 1/2 Cup Mini Pepperonis

• 1 Cup Pasta Sauce
• 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
• 1-11/2 tsp. Basil

Instructions

 

• Boil jumbo pasta shells according to package directions, minus 1-2 minutes. You want them a little bit undercooked since they'll continue cooking in the oven.
• Drain shells and let cool a bit.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9×13" baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown sausage. Use spatula or potato masher to finely crumble the sausage as it browns.
• The last few minutes of cooking the sausage, add onions, green pepper and garlic.
• To a mixing bowl, add ricotta cheese, cooked sausage, onions, green pepper, garlic, pepperoni, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning and basil.
• Use a spoon to fill pasta shells with cheese mixture, then place shells in baking dish.
• Top with pasta sauce and sprinkle with final 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
• Add some additional mini pepperoni slices, and sprinkle with a bit of Italian seasoning.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
