"When my husband and I needed dinner in a hurry, we came up with this dish that gets spicy flavor from pepperoni," notes Debbie Horst of Phoenix, Arizona. "We like to use angel hair pasta because it cooks faster than other noodles," she adds.

Yum, yum, YUMMY! I loved this pasta! I deviated slightly from the recipe by using bow-tie pasta and no tomato, but it was still amazing! I will absolutely make this pasta again--super easy and super flavorful!

Loved it...Next time I would break pasta in half before cooking..Had to add a little more olive oil..

Great dinner in a jiffy! Add mushrooms for more fun - I added a little pasta cooking water for moisture. Quick and tasty!

This was good. We are not much for pepperoni, so I substituted lean ham and some Tabasco sauce. We found the servings generous for five people. Next time I will try it with whole-wheat pasta or spaghetti squash or perhaps a mixture of the two.
