Pizza Pasta

This pizza pasta dish was soooo good! The family loved it.

Even better is that this is in my nutrition plan!

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 pound Italian sausage

• 1 cup chopped onion

• 1 cup chopped bell peppers

• 2 cups organic chicken broth

• 2 cups all natural tomato purée

• 8 oz pasta, I like the quinoa brown rice from Aldi

• 1 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder & sea salt

• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°

2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

3. Add Italian sausage; cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned.

4. Add onion and 1⁄2 cup bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is translucent.

5. Add broth, tomato puree, rigatoni, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a boil; cover. Place Dutch oven in oven; bake for 25 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

6. Set oven to “broil.” Uncover Dutch oven; stir. Top with mozzarella cheese, remaining 1⁄2 cup bell peppers, and

pepperoni; place Dutch oven under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until pepperoni is crispy and cheese is lightly browned.

Enjoy!
