Pepperoni Pizza Mac and Cheese (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 2 & 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
02 - 3/4 cup marinara pasta sauce
03 - 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
06 - 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
07 - 1 medium sweet onion, diced
08 - 5 ounce package mini pepperoni
09 - 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
10 - 2 cups dried macaroni pasta

→ Cheese

11 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, marinara sauce, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté 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.
03 - 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.
04 - When the macaroni is done, sprinkle the grated cheeses on top. Stir until melted and serve immediately.
