Pepperoni Penne Pasta

"I like this recipe because it's a good warm dish that requires only a little prep and very little cleanup...it also makes enough to have leftovers. It's great with just a salad on the side! **The whole wheat pasta holds up better, and adds a good flavor to the dish. You can use regular if you like."

  1. This was a very simple yet tasty recipe. My kids liked it and it is so cheap to make for a quick week night dinner. I added a salad and bread on the side and called it good.

In my family the recipe most often requested is my meatloaf. It's really simple, and on the surface seems like it would be boring, but the flavor is great. Our favorite restaurant is probably Texas Roadhouse or California Pizza Kitchen. I like to make spaghetti, it's a quick easy dinner that everyone likes. The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook is the one I use most!
