Instructions
Boil pasta shells al dente.
Cook sausage on medium-high until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside in a mixing bowl.
In the same pan with oil from sausage, saute onions, red pepper, and bell pepper on medium-low for about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and saute for 2-3 more minutes, stirring as you cook.
Add the vegetables to mixing bowl with sausage. Add in pepperoni, egg, ricotta, ¾ of the mozzarella, ¾ of the parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Gently fold in the black olives.
Add the whole jar of sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Stuff shells with about 2 tablespoons of stuffing each and align in the sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
