"WE WANT PIZZA! A dish I made up one night when my kids wanted pizza but we didn't have time. If you're really cheesy people, you can add more than the 1/2 cup I use."

Cut the recipe in half and it was great. Used the small pepporoni sticks cut in 1/2" pieces, added 2 Jalapenos chopped and left the garlic at 2 cloves. MMMMmmm I'll do this again - All the flavor and no calorie crust. Thanks ThatBobbie Girl - love your humor

ThatBobbieGirl - this is a absolutely terrific recipe. My DH and I have been dying for pizza and this recipe hit the spot...without the crust. This taste was just what we needed. DH ate two full plates of it. I had cut the recipe in half and now wish I'd have made all of it so I could have leftovers! Easy, quick and very tasty. Will definitely make again and again.

We LOVED this- All the stuff we love on a pizza-without the filling crust! The spaghetti takes its place beautifully!! The vegetables had just the right amount of "crispiness",too. DIVINE! Will be made over and over...thank you so much!

Great weekday meal. Fast and easy to make. Hubby loved it. I used a 1/2 pound of rotini pasta with the same amount of sauce and it was very tasty.
