- Ground turkey
- Mushrooms
- Fresh basil
- I also like to sneak in some grated zucchini for extra veggies!! The kids and husband don’t even notice!
What are your favorite pizza flavors?? We are pretty divided in our house. My husband and I like a wider variety of pizza flavors but our kid’s favorite is pepperoni.
My husband doesn’t care for pepperoni on its own but likes it with many types of meat or on a supreme. As for me, I’ll try any that don’t have anchovies or super weird ingredients.
One Pot Pasta
As I mentioned earlier one pot meals are a life saver. They are quick and easy to make and don’t require a lot of dishes! YAY for fewer dishes, am I right!!!
Unless you don’t mind washing a counter full of dishes………and in that case can you come to my house???? I promise you’ll never run out of dishes to wash! 🙂
So next time you need a quick and easy meal and pizza is calling your name try this instead of calling for delivery!!

Malinda, ive never really cooked a one pot pasta pizza. Is this an American style of cooking? The only time i ate macaroni cheese was last year in NYC at the wholefoods market..takeaway salad counter. your dish really looks meaty and full of sticky goodness — I might try my owner version lol — just boil macaroni…loads of cheese…and buy pepperoni and some paprika and olive oil!
This pizza pasta looks so yummy & tempting. I am having a weekend get-together at my place & i am surely going to try this for my friends. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Let me know how you like it!
I love that you don’t have to boil the pasta separately! And there is also never a shortage of dirty dishes at my house!
Lol, there is never a shortage here either!! 🙂
I’ll take pizza anyway I can get it. Can’t wait to try it in pizza form!
We are the same way!! 🙂
Looks Yummy
Thank you!
Love the tip to sneak in zuchinii! Tryting this!
It’s a great way to hide veggies when your husband won’t eat any, lol!!
This is one delicious dinner that would please both adults and kids!
Yes it does! Thanks!
Just curious what size skillet you used for this? I have a 10.25 inch Lodge and was thinking I might need to halve the recipe to make sure it fits in the skillet I have. Making this tonight for dinner and looking forward to it.
Hi, so sorry I didn’t get to your comment sooner!! I used a 12″ skillet. I hope you enjoyed the pizza pasta!!
Great recipe but PLEASE check your spelling twice when the proper use should have been, “you’re.”
Thank you so much for catching my mistake! Sometimes staying up late just doesn’t work! 🙂
Get a life, great recipe Melinda! My kids loved it, easy to follow no matter what the spelling.
Looks incredible! I love any spin on pizza.
Thank you so much Lynn!! Thanks for stopping by!!
