"Credit to Half Baked Harvest cookbook- I had been eyeing this recipe for a while but the kids are not big pepper fans. I finally made it and it was worth it. I prepped the pepper/onions and the oil/herb mixture earlier in the day so it was easy to throw together in the baking dish when dinner time rolled around."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375dg with rack in the center

Step 2

Mix the olive oil, dried spices, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and pepperoncini.

Step 3

Put the dry pasta in a 9x13in baking dish, pour the oil/spice mixture over the pasta and gently toss with your hands to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

Add 3 cups of water and gently toss once more.

Step 5

Layer chopped pepperoni, then the mozzarella and Havarti/provolone over the pasta. Then add the peppers, onions, and pepperoni slices. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Step 6

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pasta has absorbed the water, the cheese is melted, and the peppers are lightly charred. If there is a little grease on the top, you can blot it away with a paper towel.

Step 7

Serve the pasta hot with the fresh basil and extra Parmesan.
