My kids and husband love pepperoni pizza. I had
all the fixings for a pizza in my fridge like pepperoni, sauce and cheese, but
no crust. So I improvised and used pasta as my base instead. My son is
still asking if there are any leftovers. I think he is just hinting for
me to make it again soon. This dish is really quick to put together and
finishes off in the oven. I loved the pizza flavor I got from the pasta
and the kids ate every morsel, unlike most pizzas where we have pizza crust
leftovers.
