Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Colander
  • 9x13-inch Casserole Dish
  • Oven
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spatula or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package spaghetti noodles (17.6 oz)
  • 1.5 jars spaghetti sauce (24 oz jars)
  • 2 cups Horizon Organic mozzarella cheese
  • 1 package pepperoni

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Spoon a light layer of spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  • Add a layer of cooked spaghetti over the sauce, then sprinkle a light layer of mozzarella and a layer of pepperoni.
  • Repeat layering (spaghetti, sauce if desired, mozzarella, pepperoni) until the dish is full, finishing with cheese and some pepperoni on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, until heated through and bubbly.
  • If desired, switch the oven to broil and broil 2–5 minutes until the cheese begins to brown, watching closely to avoid burning the pepperoni.
  • Blot the top with a paper towel to absorb excess grease from the pepperoni, then serve.

Notes

  • Use a 9×13-inch dish for even baking.
  • Watch carefully while broiling to prevent burning.
  • Drain cooked spaghetti well before layering.
