Deluxe Pizza Spaghetti – Incredible One-Pot Cooking

This deluxe pizza spaghetti recipe lets you combine your love of pizza and spaghetti into one incredible pizza spaghetti casserole.

This recipe comes from a cookbook I received for review – the just-released Incredible One-Pot Cooking cookbook by Megan Marlowe and it’s full of easy, delicious recipes for exciting meals – without the mess.

All of the recipes are made in one pot and most of them come together in 30 minutes or less! 

Other recipes I’m looking forward to making from the cookbook include: Charcuterie Board Stuffed Chicken, Loaded Sausage and Pierogie Soup, Peach and Ginger Barbecue Pulled Pork and Chipotle Beef Stew. 

The recipes are broken into categories like chicken, seafood, meats, pasta and soup – simple and easy twists on classic faves. Get your copy at Amazon!

How to make deluxe pizza spaghetti

The first thing to do is cook the Italian sausage and then set it aside. I used links of Italian sausage but if I’d had ground sausage on hand, I definitely would have used it.

Next, you’ll saute the green peppers, onions and garlic.

Then you’ll add in the tomatoes, water, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and uncooked spaghetti noodles. 

Bring to a boil, then add in sausage and pepperoni. Cover and cook until pasta is tender – about 15 minutes. 

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and let melt. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Serve and enjoy!

Making substitutions in the deluxe pizza spaghetti recipe

The best part about this spaghetti recipe is that you can use your favorite pizza ingredients to create your own version of a deluxe pizza spaghetti! 

For the most part, I followed the recipe as written, but instead of using ground Italian sausage, I used sliced Italian sausage links (because that’s what I had on hand).  

Other add-in ideas to try are:

• Ground beef, turkey or chicken
• Ham and pineapple
• Black olives
• Bacon
• Canadian bacon
• Mozzarella cheese slices laid over the top instead of shredded cheese
• Ricotta cheese
• Fresh basil
• Mushrooms
• Sun-dried tomatoes

Notes

Recipe reprinted with permission but slightly adapted from Incredible One Pot Cooking.

I needed to add another 1/4 cup of water to the mixture while pasta was cooking to make sure there was enough liquid. Keep an eye on the liquid level and adjust as needed.
