Been cooking this for 25 years now and recently began using a food processor and wagon wheel pasta. This completely changes the consistancy creating a minced pepperoni sause which clings well to the pasta and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. :)

This is a great recipe. When I saw the title, I knew where it came from.... Jeff Smith's Frugal Gormet cookbook. It is a classic indeed!

I also thought this was good; we added jalapenos to ours, and popped it in the oven to bake a bit before serving. Thanks for a nice, tasty meal!

We loved this wonderful rigatoni! The sauce compliments the flavor of the pepperoni perfectly. This is a very simple to prepare recipe that could easily be made in a hurry. Thank you for sharing, Irish Rose!
