Inspired by Perfy’s limited-edition Pepperoni Pizza flavored soda, this Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Bake brings together all the best parts of a cheesy, saucy pizza and a hearty baked pasta dish. The best part? It’s high-protein, gluten-free, and keto-friendly thanks to Kaizen pasta!
This dish is easy to make, packed with flavor, and pairs perfectly with a cold Perfy Pepperoni Pizza soda for the ultimate nostalgic pizza night.
Ingredients:
- 1 box Kaizen pasta
