Helloooooo all....a new week has arrived again...time flies so quick and march is ending real soon while i feel i have not done much yet in life...hmmmmm, maybe i'm taking it toooooooo slow...heehehehhe.
Anyway, yesterday i tried this recipe that i found in a book that i borrowed from the library - 'Easy Everyday Cooking'.....this pasta pizza is really unique and easy to do so here goes the recipe:
5 oz dried cocksrew pasta
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
8 oz ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 small glove garlic - minced
1 (14 oz) can italian - style stewed tomatoes - ( i used instant pasta sauce)
1 cup green / yellow / red capsicum - cut into 2 inch stripes
1/2 tsp italian seasoning - crushed (i used crushed dried oregano)
1/2 cup slice mushroom
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 cup shredded mozarella cheese
Method for pasta crust :
1. Cook the pasta as directed on the package and drain.
2. For pasta crust, in a large bowl combine egg, milk and parmesan cheese. Stir in cooked pasta. Spread pasta mixture evenly in a greased 12 inch pizza pan. Bake in a 350C for 20 mins. (i used a casserole dish)
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet. Cook meat, onion and garlic until meat is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, capsicum and italian easoning. Brin to boiling, reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 10 - 12 mins or until capsicum is crip tender and most liquid is evaporated. Stir in mushrooms and crushed pepper.
4. Spoon the meat mixture over the pasta crust. Sprinkle with mozarella cheese. Bake for 10 - 12 mins until pizza is heated thoroughly or cheese has melted.
