Oh, hi! Just Martha freaking Stewart over here! I have some other content in the works, but I’ve honestly been cooking and creating recipes nonstop. It’s hard not to share such delicious (and easy!) recipes.
I created this recipe for the big kids. We’ve been eating so much pizza — from frozen to takeout — and I’m kind of over it. Knowing that they LOVE pizza, I decided to basically make “pizza pasta.” And, oh my gosh!, it was a huge hit.
My 4-year-old, Remy, was super excited about this meal because I let her help. Thankfully, it’s basically a dump-and-start meal, so it was easy to get her involved in the process. Plus, when she helps, it encourages her to eat something new and different. She’s so picky about food lately so I’m desperate for anything I can get.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this recipe. It’s SO not healthy! Ha! But it is incredible. It’s hearty, it’s fulfilling, and it’s just super yummy

The before pictures? They aren’t so pretty. Dump and cook meals are not always pretty — but they ARE delicious!
So tell me this — what’s your trick for making kids eat what you make?!
Dump and go recipes are the best! No guess work and no “slaving” away in front of the stove!
So creamy! This looks amazing! My husband is making pasta for dinner tonight – bet it won’t be this creamy, but I’m happy he’s cooking 😉
Pasta is my love language. This looks amazing!
