This recipe renovation was first submitted by a devoted user and now is a dinner sensation! Whole wheat pasta, egg whites, and part-skim mozzarella are just some of the items we swapped in our update. The clever use of pasta as the crust of the pizza is a great twist on a dinnertime classic and is sure to get some great reactions from your family. Ten servings ready in just over an hour, you can have this on the table for a lively weeknight option or, make on the weekend. As with standard pizza, the versatility of this dish comes with the toppings. Add more vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms to make it a more robust meal or serve a crunchy green salad alongside.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sprays olive oil cooking spray
  • 12 oz uncooked whole wheat pasta, spaghetti
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅔ cup fat-free skim milk
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • 1½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup basil, fresh, chopped (plus extra leaves for garnish)
  • 9 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 32 oz bottled spaghetti sauce
  • 2 oz pepperoni, finely julienned (about 1/2 cup)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9- X 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Break the spaghetti into 2-inch pieces and cook, al dente, according to directions; drain and cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites and egg until frothy. Stir in the milk, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, and 1/3 of mozzarella; add the cooked spaghetti and stir until thoroughly combined. Spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes; remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF.
  4. Spread the spaghetti sauce over the pasta; sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Scatter the pepperoni evenly over the cheese layer. Return the dish to the oven and bake until heated through and the cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, garnish with the basil, and then cut into 10 pieces.
  5. Serving Size: 1 piece.


Notes

  1. Cutting the pepperoni into small pieces in order to spread it throughout the dish and using less.
