Indulge in the delightful fusion of crispy pizza crust and your favorite pasta – a combination that will satisfy both cravings in one delicious bite!

1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.

3

While the pasta is cooking, dice your choice of vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

4

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes until they are slightly softened.

5

Once the pasta is drained, combine it in a large mixing bowl with the sautéed vegetables, 1 cup of pizza sauce, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

6

Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.

7

Top the pasta pizza with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese on top for a golden finish.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your delicious Pasta Pizza!
