I really think this is just a fancy lasagna, but it did taste more like pizza which I think was because of the basil & veggies.<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/p>\n

Rectangle pan<\/p>\n

Frying Pan<\/p>\n

A few extra bowls<\/p>\n

Mixing utensils<\/p>\n

Pasta (I used macaroni because that’s what I have in my cupboard right now. The recipe calls for the egg noodles-the curly ones. I think that makes more of a “crust” I added an egg to my pasta once cooked. It would have worked had I done that right before I put it in the pan. I did it too early and it turned into scrambled eggs. Added protein you couldn’t taste!)<\/p>\n

1-2 cans of tomato sauce (500 ml)<\/p>\n

1 can tomato paste<\/p>\n

4 cups grated cheese (2 if you like light cheese, we go a little overboard at our house!)<\/p>\n

Veggies of choice-we used red onions & peppers)<\/p>\n

2 chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces<\/p>\n

EVOO (for those of you not Racheal Ray fans-Extra Virgin Olive Oil)<\/p>\n

Salt<\/p>\n

Pepper<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons (or less, again to your liking) of each Basil, Oregano, & Parsley (dried-or double it for fresh). I rub the herbs between my palms before I put it in to release the flavors (again, Ms. Ray taught me well! It really does work!)<\/p>\n

1\/2 a pepperoni-sliced<\/p>\n

Step 1: Cook the pasta of choice according to the package directions<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Boil the pasta-al dente!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: Dice and slice all the veggies, herbs (if using fresh), chicken and pepperoni<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Step 3: Fry up the Chicken with EVOO. Add onions and even some garlic half way through cooking, or whenever you want. I like my veggies to still have some life left in them once the casserole is cooked. With EVOO, cook your bite sized chicken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 4: Take out the Chicken from the pan & add the veggies. Fry those up to your liking.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>\u00a0Season with salt & pepper, cook 2 minutes & set aside.<\/span><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5: Add the tomato paste & herbs to the veggies mix. Mix it up for about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/dt>\n
\u00a0<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Step 6: Layer up! Tomato Sauce, Pasta, Cheese, Veggie Mix. Do this twice. Then add a layer of cheese to the top & finish off with the pepperoni slices (which I didn’t have!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 7: Bake at 350F for about 20-30 minutes depending on how you like your cheese.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0Top with cheese. You can add pepperoni slices on the top for that added “pizza” taste.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 8: Let set about 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy!<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

-If you use any other pasta other than the egg noodles, the casserole will be more lasagna like and less pizza crust like.<\/p>\n

-Use any “fillings” you like. Try beef, spicy chicken, etc.<\/p>\n

-Baking time varies by oven. If you bake lasagna often, go by what works for that dish in your oven.<\/p>\n

-An assistant under 3 feet is suggested, but not required:)<\/p>\n

I am by no means a great cook! However, I am trying. So try at your own risk….and those of you out there know who you are-don’t tell your husbands I dreamt this one up! And while I really didn’t, just don’t tell them where you found the recipe. It’ll be our secret and I’ll be proud of that! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
