Pasta Pizza


 2 hours before Iqram comes back from school just now, I was still dreaming what to cook for the kids...
thought of something simple and I can whipped up the simplest, easy and delicious meal for them...browse the net again as usual, and I found this recipe..which I thought was quick and I think by the time the kids are back it would be just nice for them to eat....

Viola, the pizza was baked on time, and the kids love them very much!!...The unique part about this pizza was it uses the macaroni as the base.!!..instead of the flour..the parmesan cheese, milk and the eggs help to 'hold' the macacroni together and easier to handle when cut...

Opps I just remembered that the recipe, can also be seen at  Ayu- mom@work  another friend blogger of mine...which she did it for her kids...

 Ingredients:-
150g  corkscrew pasta- (I used 350g spiral macaroni-which has been boiled)-(150g macaroni-saya gunakan 350g macaroni yang dah direbus)

1 can italian style stewed tomatoes(411g)-(I used HUNT'S diced tomatoes)-(1 tin tomato stew- saya gunakan HUNT'S toamto yang dah dipotong dadu)
4 tbsp tomato sauce-(I added myself)-(4 sudu besar tomato sos-saya tambah sendiri)
