I might just give this a try instead of the weekly lasagne that I make for my wife; thanks for all these photos, makes it look possible in my mind! Gives me confidence for trying to create a great meal!
Thank you for telling me that. That was the whole purpose of my site. I want it to be possible for any level of cook to make andI felt the step by step pictures and directions made that possible. Hope she likes it!
I’m really hungry now- 😅
Thanks for sharing! VVN
You’re very welcome!
this is a great recipe, i’ve never thought of doing it this way
Thank you Beth!!!
Pizza style pasta – it’s a winner!
Especially with the grandkids! 🤣😂🤣😂
Buono
Thank you!
Liked this idea thank you will try this next week
Awesome I hope you like it as much as we do. 💕
Dangerously addictive. You can only use up all the calories like if you’re working in a coal mine or loading railcars by hand.
Or feeding a big family. My grandkids live here for the time being. Anything with the name “pizza” doesn’t last long! 🤣😂🤣
A nice nourishing family dish – Thank you, Diana – amitiés 🙂
Thank you and you’re very welcome!!!🌸🌷🌹
That looks so yummy!
Thank you Saania!!!
This looks good! I would fix it with ground beef, but my husband would prefer the sausage.
I have made it both ways and both are good. We have grown to love the hot Italian sausage. With the grandkids here I didn’t think they would like the spiciness but they did. You can even use ground turkey or ground chicken.
This looks delicious!
Thank you Christy! Posting my Chorizo Burger tomorrow. Put your site on there too!
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to see your version of it.
Not as fancy as yours but we loved it!!!
Thank you anything that tastes like pizza has to be good right? Hahahaha
This is awesome
Thanks so much! 🌷🌹🌺
Yummy!!!
Thanks it was even great the next day! I am such a lover of leftovers! Lol
Thanks!
This looks excellent! Thank you!
You can’t go wrong with pasta and pizza! Lol Thank you so much!
I need someone to make this for me so i can it eat it all!
That’s why I made 3 batches, so I could freeze the extra and pop one out of the freezer whenever we want one. Thank you Pat!!!
Anything with tomato and cheese grabs my attention and pizza tasting – yes!!!
Me too Linda!!! Thanks!
Mouthwatering. Yummy!
Thank you 🌸🌹🌺
This sounds – and looks – like a delicious recipe!! The only thing is that I’m not that much into mushrooms … I wonder what other soup could be used?
Thank you for sharing, Diane!

Diane, this does look tasty.
It really was but then again you can’t go wrong with pasta and pizza! LOL Thanks so much!
Diane, I will be keeping my blog updated as often as is possible. It will take time because of the peppers needing to grow, however, I hope that you have been enjoying my current posts.
Still not seeing your current post??? January was the last.
Diane, I have some peppers that I will need to work on growing. When the peppers appear, which will probably be soon, I will post a lot more. Stay tuned. When I said as often as is possible, I was speaking to the fact that my peppers will need growing time. By the time they are ready, many more posts will be coming.
Look forward to seeing them.
Diane, stay tuned. By the way, if you have family and friends who are into spicy foods and peppers of any variety be sure to tell them about my blog.
My recipe is probably the easiest thing in the world short of opening a can of something. It’s called FRIED SPAGHETTI (but you can use any leftover pasta; no one will rat you out!). Ingredients: leftover pasta in plain tomato sauce or meat sauce; EVOO and minced garlic (garlic salt will do in a pinch). In a heavy skillet heat just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add as much or as little garlic as you like and let it saute until it’s golden brown. Add your pasta and heat it thoroughly on medium heat. I move mine around with a wooden spoon or spatula as it’s heating because I’m making fried spaghetti (pasta) – not a frittata. I don’t want it all stuck together. Serve with a side salad, Italian bread and red wine. Delizioso (especially the parts that get a little crispy)!!!
Clever!
