I started to title this “5-Minute”…but I just couldn’t! If you add up all the time, it’s going to total 6 minutes! I tried really hard to make another 5-minute meal, but the pasta just won’t cook in less than 5-1/2 minutes, unless you can somehow preheat the liquid. But, regardless, this is a fantastic recipe! My hubby and I just had 6-Minute Pepperoni Pasta with Provolone for supper. Sorry! There weren’t any leftovers or you could pop over and have a taste. Next time I’ll make a double batch, for sure.
