Ingredients
- 2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¾ cup marinara pasta sauce
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 3 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion (diced)
- 5 oz. package mini pepperoni
- ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups dried macaroni pasta
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup grated Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, marinara sauce, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Saute the onions until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add pepperoni to the pan and mix until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes and combine.
3. Give your broth mixture a quick stir and pour it into the pan. Bring to a boil and add the macaroni.
4. Reduce the heat to medium, and cover. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is tender, stirring a few times to make sure the pasta isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5. When the macaroni is done, sprinkle the grated cheeses on top. Stir until melted and serve immediately.
