One-Pot Pizza Pasta

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned.
2. 2
   Add pepperoni and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. 3
   Stir in diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. 4
   Add garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using), and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. 5
   Add uncooked pasta, chicken broth, and pizza sauce. Stir to combine and make sure pasta is mostly submerged.
6. 6
   Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring a few times, until pasta is just al dente.
7. 7
   Uncover. Stir in half the Parmesan and olives, if using. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
8. 8
   Sprinkle mozzarella and remaining Parmesan on top. Cover and let sit 2 minutes to melt cheese, or broil uncovered for a browned top.
9. 9
   Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve piping hot!
