Leftover Pasta Pizza

Hopefully the hardest part of the week is over now that I have handed in my term paper, now onto the fun! I am cooking a dinner for one of my friends b-days on Thursday so I have to get prepped for that. Going to be making eggplant parm, stromboli, and some other random things I haven't thought of yet. I just love cooking for large groups of people, Thanksgiving and Christmas are always so much fun for me.
That reminds me I have to start my x-mas cookie baking soon. I normally make about 20-30 types and around 200-300 of each type of cookie. My Father started this tradition about 8 years ago and I am determined to keep it going.

So last nights dinner was excellent. I used miracle noodles which are about 5 calories per serving when I made this, so it lightened it up quite a bit.


Pasta Pizza from Leftovers (Or Not)


1 1/2 cups cooked pasta (cut into about 2 inches or so and lightly tossed with pasta sauce)
4-5
eggs
1/2 cup of cooked meat or cooked vegetable or stale bread, diced (only up to 1/2 cup or it wont "stay")
1/2 cup
cheese (your choice)
garlic powder (optional)
onion powder (optional)
dried basil (optional)

Directions:
1. Mix everything together.
2. Pour into a lightly greased oven proof frying pan.
3. Preheat broiler to high.
4. Cook mixture over stove top on medium heat until bottom is set, shaking pan occasionally.
5. Once bottom is set place pan into oven 4 inches away from broiler and cook until top is set as well.
6. Take out of oven and invert onto serving platter.

8. OR, to it make more pizza like, place sauce and more cheese on top of the cooked "pasta pizza" and broil again until melted.
