Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups dry uncooked macaroni (whole wheat or regular)
- 1/4 of a small onion, chopped
- 1 – 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2/3 cup fresh garden or canned tomatoes, chopped, with juices
- 1 cup light & luscious cheese sauce (recipe here)
- 1/4 cup chopped pepperoni (or sausage or other meat or pizza toppings of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat a pot of water to boiling, then add the macaroni. Cook according to package directions until the macaroni is done to your liking.
- While the macaroni is cooking, chop the onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
- When the macaroni is done, drain it in a strainer, then spray the saucepan with cooking spray and sautee the onion and garlic until the onion is soft and translucent. (Add a bit of oil if needed for your pan.)
- Add the tomato, cheese sauce, pepperoni and Italian seasoning and stir to mix, then stir in the macaroni and stir to mix.
- Serve hot, topped with freshly shredded parmesan and fresh herbs for garnish, if desired.
Notes
If you are using canned tomatoes, this would use about 1/2 of a 15-oz. can, so simply double the recipe if you want to use up the whole can.
