Andrew's Pizza Pasta (Gluten-Free Dairy-Free)

I have been searching for fun and tasty GFCF recipes for my little boy who cannot tolerate gluten or casein. There are lots of GFCF recipes out there, but many of them do not appeal to a 4 year old! I came up with this on my own, and after much tweaking and sampling I feel I am ready to share this one. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
