Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
¾ cup cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)
⅔ (16 ounce) jar cheese sauce (such as Ragu® Double Cheddar), divided, or as needed
1 tablespoon butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place pizza crust on a baking sheet.
  • Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
  • Stir 1/2 the cheese sauce and butter into the cavatappi pot over medium heat until butter is melted and pasta-cheese mixture is combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the cheese sauce onto the crust. Pour pasta-cheese mixture over the Cheddar cheese, and top with another 1/2 the cheese sauce.
  • Bake pizza in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
2 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
8-ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce
1/2 cup jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped, plus 1/4 cup of the oil
3 ounces sliced pepperoni, halved
1 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the mac and cheese: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions for al dente; drain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water.
  • Bring the milk, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until the milk reduces to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in both the Cheddar and Italian blend cheeses, a handful at a time, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the cooked macaroni and reserved pasta water to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the marinara sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and pepperoni and adjust the seasoning with salt. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the bread crumbs, Parmesan and sun-dried tomato oil together in a small bowl until the crumbs are moistened and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
