When my husband I first met, we spent every Tuesday night at the local pizza place with a group of friends. I got to know him over slices of pizza and pints of beer. I realized he’s funny, sweet, and maybe worth seeing as more than just a friend. Pizza is good for getting to know people.
I love pizza in all forms. This one-skillet Pizza Pasta is all the flavors of pizza in a scoopable form. What’s not to love? ͂ Erin
