This Pepperoni Pizza Baked Ziti recipe is a great dinner recipe for busy nights that the whole family loves.
I love pasta recipes. I mean, who doesn’t? But I often find myself making the same couple of dishes over and over again. That’s why I liked trying this pizza baked ziti. Once you’ve made it, you’ll want to try our Taco Pasta and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta. They’re so good!

Pepperoni Pizza Baked Ziti Recipe
This simple recipe uses the basics: ziti noodles, spaghetti sauce and cheese. It’s super easy.
Just how easy? Well, after you cook your pasta like you usually would, you simply mix that pasta with the tomatoes, ricotta cheese, spaghetti sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
Then, scoop it into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Yes, that is seriously it. I can’t think of an easier dinner besides just ordering pizza!
Pepperoni Pizza Ziti Variations
You can kick up the spice on this recipe if you like a little kick in your dinner, by adding some crushed red pepper and/or cayenne pepper in the mixture.
If you want to minimize the spice (my kids hate spicy things) leave out the fire roasted tomatoes and use regular tomatoes (or have no tomatoes at all).
