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

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

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.

When the macaroni is done, sprinkle the grated cheeses on top. Stir until melted and serve immediately.
