Dinner is Served » Pizza Pasta!
Have your pizza and pasta too with this super simple pizza pasta recipe. In my household, we’re big fans of sausage pizza, but also really enjoy pasta. So, this recipe is a fusion of both. This pizza pasta is made with ground pork (or Italian sausage) a jar of marinara sauce, your favorite noodle, and lots of cheese. It’s filling, ready in 30-minutes, and kid-friendly. What more could you ask for?
Featured Ingredients
Ground pork – feel free to use regular ground pork or Italian sausage (milk or spicy would be delicious). Olive oil – it wouldn’t be a pizza without some olive oil.Minced garlic – fresh garlic gives great depth to this recipe.Cherry tomatoes – we love the texture that fresh cherry tomatoes give this pasta.Fresh basil – fresh basil is important! Marinara sauce – instead of using pizza sauce, we opted for marinara sauce. You can use store-bought or homemade.Pasta – feel free to use any kind of dried pasta that you ahve on hand.Cheese – cheese-wise, we topped this with shaved parmesan cheese, but you can also use mozzarella or an Italian blend.
