This is in my top 3 favorite recipes. My mom used to make this in the summer when I was a kid and I just loved it. I used to call it summer spaghetti because that was when my mom made it. When I got married it was the first recipe I asked her for.

Source: My mom but I do believe it came from a taste of home magazine many moons ago.


  • 1 cup pepperoni slices

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup green pepper strips

  • 7 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves


Fry the pepperoni in a large skillet until edges curl. Add onions and green pepper; Cook until tender.



Toss together cheese, tomato and oregano.



Add cooked spaghetti and pepperoni, onions and green peppers. Heat thoroughly.  Sprinkle with addition Parmesan cheese if you desire.

4-6 servings

I like to double this recipe and have left overs for a few days. It can be a bit tricky to mix everything all together so use a nice big bowl will help.
