Before diving into the cooking process, it’s essential to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that your Charcuterie Pasta Bake cooks evenly throughout. Preheating sets the stage for a perfectly baked dish, allowing for that golden-brown top and bubbly cheese that everyone craves. Take a moment to set your oven while you prepare the other components of the recipe.

Ingredients
  

12 oz penne pasta

1 cup diced salami

1 cup diced ham

1 cup pepperoni slices

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1 cup marinara sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, salami, ham, pepperoni, half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, cherry tomatoes, black olives, marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

        Assemble the Bake: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before serving.

              Enjoy your warm and flavorful Charcuterie Pasta Bake!
