One-Pot Pepperoni Pasta

Step 1

In a 4 cup glass measuring cup or other microwave-safe bowl, heat the 3½ cups of water in the microwave until nearly boiling. This will take approximately 5 minutes, depending on your microwave.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large 12" skillet (that has a lid.) Add the oil and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.

Step 3

Into the skillet add the pasta, pepperoni, red peppers, and banana peppers, as well as the rosemary and salt and pepper. Pour the hot water over all and stir to prevent sticking. Bring to a boil quickly and immediately reduce to a simmer.

Step 4

Cover the skillet and simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Stir in the cream, Parmesan and parsley. The pasta dish will thicken upon standing.
