Instructions
-1 Preheat broiler to high and spray a 9×13-inch baking or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside. -1 To a stockpot, cook the pasta according to the manufacturer’s directions; drain and set aside. -1 While the pasta cooks, to a Dutch oven or other large pot, add the olive oil, onion, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften; stir occasionally. -1 Add the beef, evenly sprinkle with the oregano, salt, pepper, and crumble beef as it cooks to encourage even cooking; stir frequently. -1 After the beef is cooked through, add the pizza sauce, cooked pasta, and stir very well to combine. -1 Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish, evenly top with the cheese, pepperoni, and broil for about 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted or is as browned as desired. Watch it very closely because cheese can burn extremely quickly under the broiler, sometimes in a matter of 15 seconds. -1 Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.View original recipe
