got a hankering for pizza? can’t eat carbs? or gluten? don’t have the space to roll out dough? I got you covered!

_-_-_

BAKING SUPPLIES

*a pie tin. glass? aluminum? whatever works! no pie tin? any small, oven safe container can work! 

-_-_-

FOOD STUFFS

*1 can tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce ($1; if the spag sauce is on sale, grab it! if not, spice the tomato sauce up with some Italian seasoning!)

*1/3 bag mozzarella cheese (whole bag, $2.50)

_-_-_

OPTIONAL FOODS

*1 can mushrooms (.50)

*1/2 bag pepperoni ($1.50 for full bag)

*any leftover meats? toss them in!

*jarred banana peppers ($1.50)

*black olives (large can, $1.50)

*half of an onion, diced (whole bag, $2.50) OR dried diced onions (container, $1)

*pre-cooked bacon ($4 - expensive, but if you only use four slices, you have eight other slices for other things! like more recipes, or late night snacking!)

basically any topping that you could conceivably put on a pizza can go in this dish!

-_-_-_-

THE HOWS

prep your oven to 350. dump your sauce into your chosen container. add any of those optional ingredient right on in there, and give it a good stir. top with as much mozzarella cheese as you want, and put it in the oven! you’re only baking it until the cheese is melted, and slightly golden brown!

now, the eating! use a spoon! tortilla chips! pork rinds! pita chips! frozen garlic bread!

enjoy

do you like your spaghetti meaty? are you too broke for ground meat? are meatballs too much work? this is the spaghetti for you!

COOKWARE NEEDED

*a large pot

*another pot, of any size

-_-_-

FOOD STUFFS

*spaghetti ($1;use half a pack for this recipe! either only cook half, or put half in a container for later use)

*1 can spag sauce OR 1 can tomato sauce ($1; if using tomato sauce, spice it up with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, a table spoon of brown sugar, and some salt)

*1 can spam ($1; are you trying to really stretch that buck? use half a can here, and use the other for Spam Muffins!)

_-_-_

OPTIONAL 

*parm cheese ($1 for a small container of the real thing OR $1 for a large container of the fake stuff!)

-_-_-

THE HOW’S

in the large pot, put your spaghetti on to cook! throw some salt in there! if you have it, a little oil will mean it doesn’t stick!

dice your spam and put it in the small cooking vessel. cook it until it’s starting to get brown. toss the sauce in on top of it. let it boil, but don’t let it burn!

when the pasta is done, go on and dump the sauce right on top of it. yep, all in one bowl. we’re all about not making a ton of dishes in this house. or, if you’re serving guests, or trying to be fancy, go on and serve up the pasta, then put the sauce on it!

you do you!
