Ingredients
- 4 cups water for boiling pasta
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 ounces dry cellentani pasta
- 32 ounces low sodium marinara sauce
- 2 links turkey Italian sausage casing removed
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a pot over high heat. Add the pasta and boil for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Then, drain the pasta.
- Place the pasta into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the marinara sauce and mix to combine.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until no pink remains, about 7-10 minutes. Use the spatula to break it into small crumbles.
- Stir the cooked sausage, quartered pepperoni, and bell pepper into the pasta until well combined.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared dish.
- Top with an even layer of mozzarella.
- Place whole pepperoni slices and the black olives on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place into the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
- When done, the sides will be bubbling and the cheese will be browned and gooey. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
