This One Pan Pizza Pasta is what weeknight dreams are made of! Pizza and pasta come together in an easy meal loaded with flavor that’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
As a millennial, I definitely fit the stereotype of wanting it all and wanting it right now and I really hate cleaning up after myself… just ask my husband. So when it comes to dinner and the days I have to make it, I want it to be four things:
Simple.
Quick.
Delicious.
But most importantly, I want as few dishes as possible. Because let’s face it… they’re probably going to sit there a couple of days. #keepingitreal
Also true to my millennial nature, or maybe it’s my American one, I can’t get enough pizza or pasta in my life. So when the idea came to me to combine the two, I was like, well that’s bloody brilliant! And thanks to Barilla® Pronto™ Elbows pastas which require no boiling or draining, I can make the whole dish in one pot in less than 30 minutes! Now that’s my kind of dinner!
This dish serves 6-8 so it’s perfect for a family. But it’s also great for young couples and individuals like Matt and I. This dish reheats amazingly and makes for a few good meals for each of us… so this is more like a one pot for three days kinda meal… pretty awesome if you ask me! See you want to run out and grab all of the ingredients right now don’t you?
Pick up the other Pronto™ varieties such as Penne, Rotini, Spaghetti or Linguine and get inspired to make more convenient one pot meals, they have tons of great recipe right on their website, but of course, try this one first! Oh and to show you just how easy this is, I’ve included a step by step video below!
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- ⅓ tsp Garlic Powder
- 40 Slices of Pepperoni, divided
- 24 oz. jar Barilla Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce

- 2 tsp Oregano, fresh or dried
- 1 (12 oz.) box Barilla Pronto Elbows Pasta
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 3-4 tbsp Chopped Parsley
- In a large high-lipped stainless steel skillet, cook ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder over medium-high heat until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- While beef is cooking, quarter the pepperoni and add 75% of it to the pan with the beef, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add in pasta sauce, water, and oregano and stir.
- Add in Barilla Pronto Elbows and stir until well combined, let simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Pour pizza sauce over the top of the pasta, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, remaining pepperoni, and parsley.
- Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve hot.
