Ingredients
Instructions
- Puree the Ciao DOP San Marzano Tomatoes, basil, 2 tablespoons Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, tomato paste, garlic, and salt in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the tomato mixture into a wide saucepan and turn the heat to medium until the mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer until the tomatoes have reduced into a thick sauce, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are browned, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- When the tomato sauce is done cooking, taste and add more salt if necessary. Then add the mushrooms, pepperoni, Parmesan, and oregano and stir to combine.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the pasta according to recipe or package directions. Drain, then add the pasta to the sauce. Stir in the mozzarella.
- Serve with additional Parmesan sprinkled on top if desired.
