Recipe Introduction


This hybrid recipe arranges favorite casserole ingredients to create an outstanding
dish that looks and tastes like pizza.


List of Ingredients




Pasta Pizza




5 ounces packaged dried corkscrew macaroni (2 cups)
1 large beaten egg
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (1/3 cup)
1 medium green and/or yellow sweet pepper, cut into 2-inch strips
1 14-1/2-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 4-1/2-ounce jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
1 clove garlic, minced




Recipe



1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; rinse with cold water.
Drain again.

2. For pasta crust, in a large mixing bowl combine egg, milk, and Parmesan cheese.
Stir in pasta. Spread pasta mixture evenly in a greased 12-inch pizza pan. Bake
in a 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until meat
is brown. Drain fat. Add pepper strips, undrained tomatoes (cut up any large pieces
of tomato), and Italian seasoning to meat mixture. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender and most
of the liquid is evaporated, stirring once or twice. Stir in mushrooms and crushed
red pepper.

4. Spoon meat mixture over pasta crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake for
10 to 12 minutes more or until heated through and cheese is melted. To serve, cut
into wedges.


Makes 6 main-dish servings.
