Supreme Pizza Pasta

This recipe concludes my series of weeknight dishes made with Zestuous Mornay (Cheese) Sauce.  My goal was to remove my freezer and pantry of processed, microwave-ready foods, and this sauce was the secret to that success.

My favorite recipe with this sauce is the Chicken Spinach and Mushroom Linguine, but this Supreme Pizza Pasta was by far my husband’s favorite. I joked all week that I was divorcing Mrs. Stouffer. Now my husband has joined in on the fun and is leaving Chef Boyardee. So long as I package this pasta in microwavable food containers, he can pop one in the microwave whenever he wants.

A little work on the weekend equals lots of homemade love all weeklong. You can use any pasta with this recipe, but I like the spiral gemelli because the sauce wraps around the twists. And I made this a supreme pizza by using pepperoni, sausage, peppers and onions, but you can mix in any of your favorite pizza toppings. Enjoy!
