I came up with this idea while making spaghetti one night. I'm sure it's not something new, but the fun part is....you can put pretty much what you would put on your favorite pizza in it. If there is any leftover, I usually reheat, chop it up and make what I call Italian tacos(rolled up in flour Tortillas). Makes for a good lunch or after school snack. Or roll out biscuits, spoon on a little tomato sauce, top with left overs and bake for about 6 minutes......mini pizzas.
