Follow these simple steps to create your One Pot Pizza Pasta:

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Add Garlic and Veggies: Stir in the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are slightly tender.

3. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced pepperoni, diced tomatoes (with juices), penne pasta, Italian seasoning, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine everything evenly.

4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

5. Cook Pasta: Let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.

6. Add Cheese: Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover again for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

7. Season to Taste: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Stir gently to incorporate the melted cheese.

8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor and freshness.
