Tomato Rigatoni with Pepperoni and Parmesan

I found this recipe while perusing my copy of March’s Food Network Magazine. I thought it looked amazing in the magazine and with a few tweaks it would be perfect for dinner! This would be great for a large crowd since it is easily doubled or even tripled. It also would make a fantastic potluck dish since it could easily be made ahead of time and kept warm in a crockpot.Alex and I were so surprised at how delicious this dish turned out. With the red pepper flakes you might think its would be spicy, but it really isn’t. The pepper flakes simply give the dish the right amount of love when paired with the other spices. We also decided this dish would be wonderful if we added sausage both with and instead of the pepperoni. It’s really up to you which you would prefer, although one of the best things about this recipe was munching on the crispy pepperoni![amd-yrecipe-recipe:224]Source: Adapted from Food Network Magazine: March 2016
