• 7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling. Pepperoni and cheese should look like a pizza when ready.
• 8. NOTE: I HAVE FOUND WHEN GIVING DIRECTIONS AND INGREDIENTS TO A RECIPE, IT IS HARD TO MAKE LIKE MINE SINCE I DO EXPERIMENT AS I COOK. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS RECIPE: MAKE SURE WHEN YOU HAVE MIXED ALL YOUR INGREIDENTS LISTED IN THE LIST ABOVE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH OF THE SAUCE FOR YOUR TYPE OF PASTA AND IF IT IS DRY OR NOT. YOU SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE SWIMMING IN THE DISH OF PASTA WHEN YOU PUT IT TOGETHER. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE EXTRA TO ADD TO YOUR PASTA MIXTURE. DIFFERENT TYPES OF PASTA GRAB YOUR SAUCE MORE THAN OTHERS SO YOU REALLY NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.
