Pizza Pasta Dip

This Pizza Pasta Dip is the best of both worlds—creamy, cheesy pasta layered with classic pepperoni pizza flavor. Mini pepperoni and garlic are sautéed with onions, then combined with tomato paste and anelli pasta simmered in broth. Cream, mozzarella, and parmesan make it irresistibly creamy before it’s baked and broiled to bubbly perfection. Serve it as a shareable appetizer or enjoy solo—it’s cheesy, savory comfort in every bite!
