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.

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