Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 250 grams ground Italian sausage
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 cups pizza sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 20 pieces pepperoni slices
• 1 small, diced green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.

Step 4

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti and the sauce mixture. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, half of the diced green bell peppers, half of the black olives, and 10 slices of pepperoni.

Step 8

Add the remaining spaghetti mixture on top, then layer with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, the rest of the bell peppers, black olives, and the remaining pepperoni slices.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Pizza Spaghetti Style!
