It’s no secret at all that I cannot get enough of one pan meals and one pan pasta recipes like this one. I’m always brainstorming the next one for you guys and this one is so fun. I mean, it’s obviously fun because you only have to wash one pan.
Good grief, now that we got that out of the way, please point me to the nearest pizza support group because I think I might have a problem. If you’re still here and didn’t get pulled away to another one of those recipes (if you did, I hope it was the pizza sliders because they are amaaaaazing), let’s talk a little about this pizza pasta.
When you pair your pasta and pizza, you’ll want to think about matching heavy to heavy and light to light. This way, your meal will match well. If one is heavier while the other is lighter, the first dish will quickly overshadow the second.
Make It Your Own
As with many of my recipes, you can make this one your own! Here are some of my ideas:
- Add more veggies. I feel like that’s always one of my ideas, but it’s a good one! Try sautéing some mushrooms, green peppers or red peppers, and/or onions in a little olive oil before you bring the tomatoes and water to a boil. Remove them from the pan and stir them in at the end if you like the veggies to maintain a little crispness, or leave them in the entire cooking time if you prefer them softer.
- Turn this into a pasta bake! Bake it right away or freeze it for a later time. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes if baking right away, or bake for about an hour if frozen. Be careful with frozen glass pans and hot ovens! The best method? Defrost the frozen casserole in the fridge overnight.
- Make it extra cheesy. I don’t blame you! Try adding fresh mozzarella slices on top, or stirring in ricotta cheese.
- Make it vegetarian! Leave out the pepperoni. If you do this, try amping up the vegetables like I mentioned above.
- Make it supreme. Brown Italian sausage or ground beef/turkey in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients. Stir in black or green sliced olives at the end, whatever you love on your supreme pizza!
- Or try a different one pot pasta, like this delicious smoky Pasta Amatriciana or Creamy Chicken Spaghetti.
