Description

Imagine a delightful fusion where the comforting warmth of baked pasta meets the irresistible flavors of pizza. This pizza pasta bake is a crowd-pleasing dish that brings together familiar tastes in a new and exciting way. A base of rich marinara sauce sets the stage, infused with aromatic fresh basil and a blend of savory spices that awaken the senses as it bakes.

Next, a generous layer of your favorite pizza toppings creates a symphony of flavors and textures. Think savory pepperoni, earthy mushrooms, crisp bell peppers, or sweet onions – the possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor this dish to your exact preferences. The heart of this bake lies in the tender pasta, enveloped in a luxuriously creamy and thick cheese sauce.

As it bakes, the mozzarella melts into a golden, bubbly blanket, clinging to every strand of pasta and encasing the toppings in a warm, cheesy embrace. The finished dish boasts a tempting golden-brown crust, reminiscent of a perfectly baked pizza. Each spoonful offers a delightful combination of textures, from the soft pasta and tender toppings to the smooth, velvety cheese sauce.

Whether you choose to serve it in generous scoops, showcasing the distinct layers, or gently stir it together for a harmonious blend of flavors, this pizza pasta bake is sure to be a hit. Leftovers, if there are any, store beautifully in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it perfect for meal prepping or enjoying a second helping later in the week. Feel free to get creative with your toppings!

Substitute pepperoni and mushrooms with other ingredients like cooked chicken, steak, ground beef, spinach, or olives. The beauty of this dish lies in its adaptability, allowing you to create a personalized pizza pasta experience that perfectly suits your taste. This baked pizza pasta is more than just a meal; it's an experience, a celebration of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare an 11x7 glass baking dish (for 4-6 servings) by spreading the marinara sauce across the bottom in a thin layer. Chop mushrooms and thin-sliced pepperoni, and arrange the chopped pieces across the bottom of the pan too. Sprinkle chopped basil, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and red pepper over the ingredients. Set this pan aside for later on.
    2.
    Make the cheese sauce by melting butter in a pot over low heat on the stove. Stir cream cheese into the melted butter continually until the cream cheese and butter are melted and emulsified. Pour almond milk into the pot, and bring the pot to a simmer while you stir the butter and cream cheese into the almond milk. Once the liquid is hot, reduce the heat back down to a low setting, and stir mozzarella cheese into the sauce until it 92s melted, thick, and creamy.
    3.
    Remove the sauce from the heat. Turn on the oven to preheat to 350 degrees. Prepare the shirataki noodles by draining them from their packaging, rinsing the noodles, and draining them once more. Add the noodles to the cheese sauce, and fold them over in the pot until you have a cheesy mozzarella pasta. Pour the hot pasta and sauce into your glass baking dish from Step 1, and spread it over all the chopped ingredients in a thick layer. The steam from the hot pasta should immediately begin cooking your mushrooms in the pan.
    4.
    Cover the pan in aluminum foil and place it in your oven. Bake the pasta for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20+ minutes. The liquid will evaporate, the pasta will thicken, and you should see significantly golden brown edges around the pan. If you like a crunchy baked top, you can set the pan under your broiler at your discretion. Let the finished pasta cool for 5 minutes before serving.
