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.
