Pasta with the Works

Is Friday night pizza night at your house? Shake things up a little bit
(but keep the troops happy!) with this "pizza as pasta" supper. All you
need to round out the meal is a cold, crisp salad with Italian dressing.

Pasta with the Works
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 5 min.
Cook Time: 20 min.

1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
1 medium green pepper, cut into 2-inch-long strips (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups Prego® Fresh Mushroom Italian Sauce * or* Traditional Italian Sauce
1/3 cups pitted ripe olives, cut in half (optional)
4 cups corkscrew-shaped pasta, cooked and drained
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
Grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cook the pepperoni and pepper in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat
until pepper is tender-crisp, stirring often.

2. Stir the sauce and olives in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce
the heat to low. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

3. Stir the pasta and mozzarella cheese in the skillet. Serve with the
Parmesan cheese.

Makes: 4 servings (about 1 1/4 cups each).

                              For an over-the-top, gooey-cheesy skillet use fresh mozzarella
instead of the part-skim variety. Garnish the pasta with chopped fresh
basil before serving.
