SPAGHETTI PIZZA

January 9, 2017

Sometimes pizza dough is kind of a pain that I do not want to mess with at all. I do homemade doughs sometimes but you know the nights I just need to not have to have the forethought to begin preparing dinner on and off starting at 11:00am. SO MAKE A PIZZA CRUST OUT OF NOODLES! So make a pizza crust out of noodles. The noodles get all crispy and tasty this way too. Yes, this is a crazy fusion food which normally feel a little gimmicky, not fancy, but I found myself feeling quite epicurean while I ate this.

I think one of the prettiest pizzas I have seen to date and certainly since the start of the 2017 calendar year.

SPAGHETTI PIZZA

1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente
2 eggs
2 tablespoons parsley
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 cup pesto (my favorite recipe here), divided
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 pint grape tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
Mozzarella
Basil
Parmesan, shaved

When preparing spaghetti, reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before straining noodles. Toss noodles with egg, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, pasta water, and 2 tablespoons pesto. Drizzle a skillet with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and heat to medium. Press 1/2 of noodles in pan and cook for 8-9 minutes, until bottom is browned. Transfer pizza to a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining noodles.

        Have you ever made an extra and froze it? If so, did you freeze if before of after you baked it.

        • Rachel Schultz

          I’ve not done it, but my guess is you’d freeze before.
