Pepperoni Pasta Bake
Pepperoni Pasta Bake brings together tender rotini, juicy Italian sausage, creamy cottage cheese, and gooey mozzarella under a pepperoni-studded top for a pizza-inspired bite in every forkful. The balance of tangy tomato sauce and briny olives adds depth without overpowering the comforting, cheesy base. It’s a great weeknight dinner or casual gathering dish when you want something hearty and familiar.
