Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
While the pasta is boiling, cook the sausage over medium heat until just lightly pink. Dice the green pepper and onion and add to the sausage. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through.
Cut the pepperoni slices into bite sized pieces. Add the pepperoni, olives, cream cheese, and pasta sauce to the pan with the sausage and heat over low heat until warmed through and cheese is melted.
When pasta is done, drain and return to the pan. Stir the sausage mixture into the pasta and stir to coat the pasta.
Add half of the pasta mixture to a 9x13 baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining pasta over the cheese and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and place a few pepperoni slices on top, if you’d like.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pasta is heated through.
