  • Make sure to use an oven-proof skillet - we love this deep dish cast iron skillet.
  • You can customize this dish by adding your favorite pizza toppings, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. Just sauté them with the Italian sausage for added flavor.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese from cheese blocks will melt more smoothly and have better flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
  • This one-pot pizza pasta is great for meal prep. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Serve it with some French Bread or Garlic Cheese Bread for a satisfying meal.
