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.
