How to Make G'ma Macs Simply Delicious Pasta Pepperoni Salad
Pasta Pepperoni has been in the Peterson household for over three decades! Thank you G’ma Mac for giving us this recipe! Bonus, if you want to make a lower carb version, substitute you choice of pasta with baked spaghetti squash!
let’s get started with our Pasta Pepperoni
This hand-me-down recipe is one of my personal favorites and it’s super easy.
While the pot of water is coming to boil to cook the pasta, I prep the veggies and pepperoni.
For this dish I like to use either Penne or Mostaccioli Pasta.
And when cooking pasta for the Pasta Pepperoni Salad, I usually cook it a minute or two less than what the directions call for.
So if it states, “cook 10-12 minutes”, I’ll usually cook it for 8 minutes.
I like my pasta ‘al-dente”.
PREPPING OUR VEGGIES FOR PASTA PEPPERONI
For the Pasta Pepperoni, I like slicing my veggies and pepperoni lengthwise so I have similar sizes compared to the pasta.
In fact, the reason why I started slicing the pepperoni, my kiddos used to steal them out of the bowl! I am serious, those stinkers!
I slice my black olives also, why? I honestly can’t tell you.
Yes you can use the sliced black olives if you choose.
Set the black olives aside until later.
While the pasta is cooking, I turn the heat on the veggie mixture on low and cover with a lid.
Once the pasta is cooked, I add to the veggie mixture, and stir together.
Then I add about a cup of heavy cream or whole milk to the mixture and black olives and stir together.
SERVING OUR PASTA PEPPERONI
I love serving Pasta Pepperoni with parmesan cheese and garlic bread.
Otherwise this is also perfect as a side dish too.
