Bet you didn't have honey on your National Pasta Day bingo card. 🍯🍝
Pizza night and pasta night just joined forces. Tender penne tossed in a rich, savory beef and tomato sauce, swirled with Bumbleberry Farms Hot Honey Jam, then blanketed in melty mozzarella and crispy-edged pepperoni.
Baked Hot Pepper Pepperoni Pasta Recipe
Serves 3–4
Ingredients:
- 10 oz penne pasta
- 10 oz (about ⅔ lb) ground beef
- 2 oz sliced pepperoni
- 1 jar (14 oz) marinara
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2–3 tbsp Bumbleberry Farms HOT PEPPER JAM Naturally Sweetened with Honey
- 5 oz (about 1¼ cups) shredded mozzarella
How to make it:
**We suggest using an oven safe skillet like cast iron. If you don't have one, transfer skillet contents to a baking dish before Step 5.**
Step 1: Heat oven to 400°F. Boil pasta in salted water 2 minutes short of package time. Drain.
Step 2: In an oven-safe skillet, soften onion and garlic. Add beef, brown fully, and drain the fat.
Step 3: Stir in sauce and 2 tbsp Bumbleberry Farms Hot Honey Jam. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Toss in the pasta until well coated.
Step 5: Top with mozzarella and pepperoni, then drizzle with the remaining Bumbleberry Farms Hot Honey Jam.
Step 6: Bake 10–15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the pepperoni crisps.
Sweet heat, crispy edges, zero leftovers. 🔥
