Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Serves: 2-4
Pizza meets pasta. And it is good.
Ingredients
  • 3-4 C leftover pasta (I used “Extra Creamy Mac and Cheese”)
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 1 t olive oil
  • 1/4 to 1/2 C peas
  • pepperoni (as much or as little as you’d like)
  • 1 C parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 C gruyère cheese, cut into triangles (if you want)
  • 1 tortilla, cut into small triangles
Instructions
  1. Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 oven proof dish. Mix the milk and 1/2 C parmesan cheese with the mac and cheese. Place in a 350F oven. Cook, either covered with foil, or uncovered stirring occasionally (so the noodles don’t get crispy), for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Top with tortilla triangles, pepperoni, gruy̬re, and remaining parmesan. Cook 15-30 minutes more (until cheese is bubbly and browned, and mac and cheese is heated through Рleftovers should come to 165F).
