Cheesy Macaroni Pizza

This creative dish combines the comfort of macaroni pasta with the flavors of a classic pizza. Al dente macaroni is tossed in a savory homemade tomato sauce infused with garlic, onions, and herbs. It is then layered in a springform pan with plenty of melted cheese and colorful vegetables. Baked to golden perfection, this macaroni pizza is a fun and cheesy twist on two family favorites.
