Fast ,Easy, and Delicious! We loved it. I love pepperoni, so added extra. Clean up was a breeze, I cooked everything in on pot.

I cannot thank you enough for this recipe, and to Parsley for the wonderful stovetop method! It was so simple, flavorful & my husband absolutely loved it. I used whole wheat elbow macaroni, no peppers or mushrooms, lean ground turkey & low fat cheese. For the "toppings," I used turkey pepperoni & tons of olives-but the options are endless. I cook vegetarian for myself now & my husband has missed lasagna-like meat dishes. This saved the day & I am sure I will make this for him again & again. Thanks again!!

Yes this is kid-friendly. My baby loves it :) I used a whole green bell pepper, 1 onion, 227 g fresh mushrooms. For the pizza sauce, I did it. I did recipe#104173. I didn't boil, I just mixed the ingredients and that's it. So easy and the perfect quantity for this recipe. Thanks Lazyme :)

Easy, yummy and only 1 pan to clean! I made this in a skillet on the stovetop instead of the microwave. It was just as easy and quick. After the meat was browned and drained, I added everything else (except the cheese), brought it to a boil, covered and simmered it for 10 minutes and topped with the cheese. My noodles were small shell macaroni.... they hold the sauce nicely. This is a keeper. Thanx for sharing!
