Hearty Pizza Pasta Salad

"Pizza made into a salad! I just dreamed this up today and it tastes very yummy. You can mix it up by using both mozzarella and cheddar or provolone instead of mozz. You could also try adding pizza veggies like 1/4 cup green bell pepper julienne sliced in inch long pieces or fresh sliced mushrooms."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm just getting back into cooking in my twenties. I loved to experiment as a teen with baking and main dishes which were often big hits at work and home. My mom wasn't much of a cook so I made lots of our meals. She's since found TV Food Network but of course she waited until I was out of the house to start cooking! :) I'm dairy-free so I try hard to adapt different dishes to compensate for loss of flavor so my boyfriend and I can eat the same meals. My main motto is "save time but save the flavor." I try to cut corners when I can to save time and money WITHOUT sacrificing taste and quality. Obviously my favorite cooking show is Semi-Homemade. I also love Everyday Italian when I have the time and money for extra special ingredients. I'm not Suzie Homemaker or Martha Stewart but I aim to please. I think it's super important for restaurants and food companies to be sensitive to people with food allergies and label allergens. I really hope it becomes mandatory soon because I have to be very careful when I dine-out or go shopping and it's very confusing, irritating, and a huge bummer.
