LOVE this! I make pasta pizza's as I like to call them all the time with leftovers and love them. This recipe was no diffrent. I had tons of peppers and onions left over from a taco night and wanted to use them up so this was perfect. The topping or filling for it was great! I scaled this down a lot and made it all in a skillet. Love the mixture of peppers and white beans. Very good!
