Take this dish up a notch in the healthy category by using whole wheat noodles, nitrate-free pepperoni, and homemade sauce. Here's my favorite quick and easy sauce recipe.

2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (extra points if you home can them) – In a small sauce pan cook the oil and garlic together over medium heat until the garlic starts to smell good. Add the tomatoes and simmer until it thickens a bit, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. DONE! Really. Three ingredients and it tastes amazing! You can also toss in a big handful of baby spinach at the end of the cooking time for added goodness.
