Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¾ cup marinara pasta sauce
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 3 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion diced
- 5 oz. package mini pepperoni
- ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups dried macaroni pasta
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup grated Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, marinara sauce, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Saute the onions until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add pepperoni to the pan and mix until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes and combine.
- Give your broth mixture a quick stir and pour it into the pan. Bring to a boil and add the macaroni.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and cover. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is tender, stirring a few times to make sure the pasta isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- When the macaroni is done, sprinkle the grated cheeses on top. Stir until melted and serve immediately.
