Quick One Skillet Pasta Pizza Weeknight Meal

I think my kids could eat pizza every single day.  They have all in one day eaten pizza for lunch at our home school co-op, had pizza for supper (because I didn’t eat any for much so I wanted to make some for dinner) and then had leftover pizza the next day. This one skillet pasta pizza is another way to get the great pizza flavor with all of your personal favorite additions.

I make a lot of my own ingredients when I make pizza. I make the dough, sauce, and at times even the cheese.  The problem…it takes time to make it all homemade and often can be more expensive than if I buy a pizza. That’s where this recipe comes in.

Quick, Easy Meal - One Skillet Pasta Pizza Recipe from Simple Life Mom

I have an amazing pizza sauce recipe that we LOVE! I make a huge batch and freeze extra so meals are easier to make later.

When I make dough, I will double it and put half in the freezer (though it’s not like fresh dough).  So, it’s not a massive ordeal, but I’m a 5 ingredient, one skillet kind of gal.  Thus, one skillet pasta pizza is a perfect option for those days when you don’t have much time.

One Skillet Pasta Pizza Recipe

This can be made with all of your favorite ingredients.

If you love pepperoni, spicy sausage, lots of veggies like broccoli, spinach, green peppers, or want to add chicken, just make sure the meat is fully cooked before adding and go for it.

I love that I can use whatever is in my fridge at the time.

You can also make this gluten free by using gluten free pasta. No other changes are needed.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef or sausage
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large green pepper, diced
  • 2 cups homemade pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • 12 ounces pasta of choice, cooked
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  • Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large cast iron skillet or other skillet that can be put into the oven, over medium high heat.
  • Add green pepper when the meat is fully cooked. Stir and cook until peppers are al dente.
  • Stir in pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, and cooked pasta.
  • Sprinkle Mozzarella on top.
  • Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, or until cheese begins to brown.

    This looks delicious, and definitely like something my kids would enjoy. We have pizza night on Fridays, I make a bunch of dough and everyone makes their own pizza. But, my kids ask for it daily 😉

    My boys agree that there is not a problem with eating pizza for every meal. This is a great base recipe for nights when I just don’t want to make the dough or am needing variety for my sanity! Thanks for sharing!
