spaghetti pizza

Wow, it has been a while since I have done anything on here. The credit for that goes to the holidays and my vacation back stateside with my family. We really had to pack a lot of stuff into the 3 weeks we were there. It was a wonderful trip and I'm so happy I was able to spend Christmas with my family. Hopefully we will be moving back to California soon, fingers crossed and prayers said!

   Alright  lets get down to business, so who doesn't love pizza or spaghetti? Well let me tell you everyone in this house sure does! Actually pizza is one of my favorite foods. You can never go wrong with pizza, I mean about it have you ever had a horrible pizza that you just couldn't even eat? Well I never have, I mean I have had pizzas that are awesome and amazing and I have also had pizzas that are just okay, but never have I taken a bite of  cheesy goodness and said oh that's a awful pizza.

Anyways I think I am done confessing my undying love for pizza and I can move on to telling you about this family favorite dish.

  • 1lb. Of cooked thin spaghetti*
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • 2 tbs. olive oil
  • 2 tbs. butter
  • 2 tbs. Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 C. Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg slightly beaten
  • 1/2 C. Bread crumbs
  • 1/2 C. Your choice of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce
  • 1 C. Mozzarella or cheddar (or whatever kind of cheese you prefer)
Any toppings you like on you pizza. Italian sausage, olives, pepperoni, mushrooms, pineapple, bell peppers etc. Get creative.
* I use whole wheat pasta for this dish, but it's really up to you.

  1.  So start by preheating you oven to350* and greasing a 9x13 baking dish. While the oven is heating up combine  your cooked spaghetti, can of diced tomatoes, olive oil, Italian seasoning, butter and Parmesan cheese. After that is mixed well add your bread crumbs and egg.
  2. Next pour into your prepared baking dish and spread it all out. Now just start assembling like you would any other pizza, sauce, the wonderful cheese, and all those yummy toppings.
  3. Pop that baby in the oven for 25-30 minutes. ( I know seems like forever to wait for such deliciousness, but you got to make sure that egg is cooked. I usually clean up my mess of whip up something for dessert to make the time go by faster)
  4. When the cheese is all melted and gooey and toppings all tosted up its ready!
Now enjoy! After you recreate this at home post on here and let me know what creative toppings you used.
