Baked Pepperoni Pasta

1 box rigatoni
20 turkey pepperonis, diced
3 C pasta sauce
1 C shredded mozzarella

Cook pasta according to box directions, but cutting cooking time in half. In a 9x13 glass pan, mix drained pasta, sauce, and turkey pepperoni. Top with mozzarella. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.

NOTES:
- Use any pasta you like, including spaghetti if it tickles your fancy. I'm a fan of tube pasta for this dish because the hollow center picks up the sauce nicely. Whole wheat penne or rigatoni is my favorite.
- I rarely used store bought pasta sauce to save on the salt and sugar.
- Experiment with the cheese.
- Substitute turkey pepperoni for any other cooked meat as desired. Or omit for an even lighter option.
- Pair with a salad, because veggies.
