Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound any shape pasta (such as penne, farfalle, elbows)
1 pound Italian sausage
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ sweet onion, diced
4 ounces sliced pepperoni, cut into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • While pasta is cooking, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until just lightly pink. Add green bell pepper and onion to the sausage. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through. Add the pepperoni, olives, cream cheese, and sauce. Cook over low heat until heated through and cheese has melted.
