American Macaroni Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

1 2/3 cup elbow macaroni
4 ounces American cheese slices -- cut into strips
2 eggs -- lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
***TOPPINGS***
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
16 pepperoni slices

Directions:

Preparing the crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender but still firm, 6-8 minutes. Drain pasta.

While pasta is still warm, return it to the saucepan and toss with American cheese and eggs.

Lightly brush a 12" pizza pan or ovenproof skillet with oil. Spread pasta mixture in the pan, pressing firmly with the back of a wooden spoon; bake crust for 10 minutes.

Topping the pizza: Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pasta, leaving a 1" border around the edges. Sprinkle with garlic and oregano; top with mozzarella. Place pepperoni slices on pizza in a spiral pattern.

Bake pizza until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
