I got the idea of this from Debbie at Mocha Me. Pizza is always a welcomed by the homegirlz and their mom is a pasta lover. So you see you can have the best of both worlds if you plot your strategy. Not only was this a really quick cooking week night meal, it was a real pleaser to the taste buds. This pasta meal has so many variations are only limited by your imagination. just think of what you like on a pizza!
Cook your favorite pasta in salted water and drain. While you're waiting on your water to come to a boil, in a large high sided skillet, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute 4 slices of ham sliced in strips, 1/2 medium onion sliced in strips, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic minced through a garlic press and a couple of handfuls of sliced mushrooms.
Once the mushroom has started to turn golden brown, pour in one 10 ounce charge of pizza sauce and one 8 ounce can of tomato sauce and sliced pepperoni (as much as you want). Stir to combine and lower heat to medium low.
Add 1/2 cup of grated parmesan. Once pasta is cooked and drained. Pour into sauce and toss to thoroughly combine.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced black olives and then watch it disappear.
Have a great weekend!

I know I don't leave comments too often, but I have to tell you that these recipes look wonderful and this latest is definitely one I'm going to try out on the kids!
Pizza is a huge FAV in this house. This a definite must do.
I saw this on Debbie's site - how yummy!! I like your version, such a great comfort meal!
I'm not sure katherine, because I also try to leave a comment for Rosa and didn't let me, but I don't really have problem when I try it for others, and I don't have it on mine either. So, it could be for a certain place/area. Not sure ...
Anyway, love it when someone post pizza recipe on Friday. Because, if I get lazy to cook on the week-end, pizza is always the easiest way to make.
This really does look good and the fact that it's quick and easy to prepare moves it to the head of the class. Have a wonderful weekend.
The pizza looks great! Are you using IE? The problems are still at random, please let me know if you have any specific problems on my site or yours, I can look into it as a web programmer and all :)
The only thing that I would add would be jalapeno peppers. :)
Looks and sounds heavenly, Katherine!
A must try over the weekend.
I know my daughter would love this Pizza Pasta!
Awesome!! Everybody would love this over here :D
Hubby would love that - plus it looks nice and quick.
wow - packed with flavor....
It took me most of the day to get onto google. Drove me nuts!
My kids love pizza and pasta. I have made something very similar, but can't wait to try this one out. I know it will be a hit!
What a fantastic idea - my kids would love this pasta, actually, so would I!
Blogger has been having problems for weeks now. It's sporadic but annoying, especially troublesome for IE users apparently. I guess the folks at Google keep "experimenting" - can't leave well enough alone!!
Anyway, this sounds really good! Thanks for sharing it.
What a great idea this is. Rachael Ray does this on her show all the time.
I so have to try it - thanks for reminding me = ]
This looks like something my kids would eat. Looks great!
Hey Katherine,
My family would love this dish!! Thanks for sharing all the photos. I am pretty sure that my family will send a big "THANKS" to you when I whip this up for them. Have a great weekend.
Oh yummy! This might actually be better then pizza itself! (Dare I say that?)
Very nice! I don't think a lot of people have ever seen pepperoni on anything except a pizza.. Besides jerky, I have also made a pepperoni "slim jim" stick!
Your pasta looks perfect love all the pepperoni. Keeper.
Great idea for pasta. I'm thinking sausage and peppers. Thanks for the inspiration.
Everything is better when you make it like a pizza!
yummy!!!
It looks so wonderful!
I'll have a plateful, please!
i love that you use so much garlic. i'm addicted to it and use it in most of my foods! nice to have found you! i'll be back.
Katherine, this is a very clever idea. We love pizza so I know this would be a welcome addition to our menu.

This is a great compromise dish. Can't go wrong with pizza/pasta mixes!
I'd be all over that! Looks and sounds delicious. We had a pasta pizza soup that was pretty good but dang this dish sounds even better.
Katherine, Glad you enjoyed the Pepperoni Pizza Pasta and thank you for mentioning me!!! Yours looks good and it's a great meal that seems to please everyone in my family!
I cant wait to make this! YUM!
I was traveling in this awful heat and no where near a computer. I think I'll let the GRANDs do personal pan pizza's tomorrow. Sounds fun.
I just had pizza for lunch so I can't look at this post anymore. I ate way too much.
I LOVEEEEEEE pizza.
Such a great idea! So yummy and so versatile!
I like this idea of combining pizza and pasta. Two of my favorite things! It looks great with the black olive on top too.
