Featured Ingredients

• Ground pork – feel free to use regular ground pork or Italian sausage (milk or spicy would be delicious).
• Olive oil – it wouldn’t be a pizza without some olive oil.
• Minced garlic – fresh garlic gives great depth to this recipe.
• Cherry tomatoes – we love the texture that fresh cherry tomatoes give this pasta.
• Fresh basil – fresh basil is important!
• Marinara sauce – instead of using pizza sauce, we opted for marinara sauce. You can use store-bought or homemade.
• Pasta – feel free to use any kind of dried pasta that you ahve on hand.
• Cheese – cheese-wise, we topped this with shaved parmesan cheese, but you can also use mozzarella or an Italian blend.

Variations

Make it Gluten-Free: to make this gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free noodles.

Make it Vegan: to make this pizza pasta vegan, swap the ground sausage for plant-based ground and then use a vegan cheese on top.

Switch Up the “Toppings”: you can easily add other pizza toppings to this such as olives, pepperoni, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, etc. Make it your own!

Storage

Transfer cooled pasta into an airtight container and seal. Refrigerate for up to 3-5 days.
