just pepperonis man...dont necessarily need to be oily but ive always imagined that the kind of pepperonis you put on your pasta need to be prepared with olive oil

bit of oil in a pan, turn your burner onto low heat, toss in your pepperoni and let is sweat basically. Once you have desired doneness of your meat, toss in your sauce and mostly cooked pasta, and voila.

Cooking is simple, and you dont need pepperoni in a pasta only, I normally only use it on pizza personally ;p

Not too much oil, the sausage has enough fat itself. I'd take about 1-1.5 tablespoons of oil. I don't know how your oven works, but with mine It'd take about 2 minutes for the pan and oil to heat up. Throw your stuff in and see to it that it doesn't scorch. Just take it off when you feel like it looks ultra tasty (your salivation tells you when that is), that'll be about 2-4 minutes.

Also, in case you are a pasta noob: be quick when draining the noodles. Throw them into a sieve, put a bit of olive oil in the pot, then swiftly put the pasta back in the pot. You don't want the noodles to drain too much since that water-starch solution on them has a lot of taste.

Oh, and for the future: your nose is your main instrument for cooking. Take a smell of each ingredient and spice you ever use. On the one hand, enjoying the aromas makes cooking a delightful experience and you'll appreciate the meal afterwards even more. On the other hand, you'll develop a feeling of what tastes how, and what could make a good combination.
I'm not one to cook by recipe, I just throw together what I have at home and fits together. Freestyle, baby. Vegetables, meat, nuts, bananas, sharp spices and honey? Great combo! You are doing it right when you drool and enjoy yourself while cooking.

im not sure about pepperoni, but when cooking any meat, make sure to have the heat down to low, otherwise you will get a face full of burning oil, especially if you preheat the pan then just dump it all in, i usually just put it straight in, then start the fire and slowly wait until its done the way i like it.

Also if you do make the mistake of putting the fire on high, at least dont try to fry anything up while not wearing your shirt, learn from my pain (T_T), the oil, she burns.

The oil splashing around comes from the lots of water inside the meat. You'll notice a piece of meat shrinks by about 20% in the pan, that's all lost water. And water + hot oil = boom!
Shouldn't be an issue with pepperoni however, not much water in there. The issue here in this case is more that olive oil isn't suitable for frying at great heat.
