Creamy Pepperoni Pasta Sauce

Recently, my husband said he was hungry for a simple pasta dish, but when I looked in the fridge, I saw that there was only about half a jar of leftover sauce. I began thinking of ways to stretch out that half a jar, and this is what I came up with...

Creamy Pepperoni Pasta Sauce

1/2 jar ANY pasta sauce
6 to 10 Hormel Turkey Pepperoni slices
2 T. butter
2 T. flour
2 c. milk

1. Chop pepperoni into bits, set aside.
   
2. In a medium sauce pan, heat pasta sauce.
   
3. In a separate sauce pan, melt butter; add flour; stir in 1/2 c. milk; allow sauce to thicken.
   
4. Stir in milk a little at a time, allowing sauce to heat and thicken after each addition.
   
5. Add to medium pan with pasta sauce. Add pepperoni bits, and stir well; simmer for 10-15 minutes.
   
6. Serve over your favorite pasta.

NOTE: At the suggestion of a good friend, I tried the turkey pepperoni, and found that I liked it much better than regular pepperoni—it is has much less grease and better flavor!
