Ingredients
- 300 g Elbow macaroni
- 200 g Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 ml Pizza sauce
- 100 g Pepperoni slices
- 100 g Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 50 g Black olives (sliced)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for greasing pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Cook the elbow macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package directions, then drain and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, 150g of shredded mozzarella cheese, 50g of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the macaroni is evenly coated.
Step 4
Grease a round pizza pan or oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Spread the macaroni mixture evenly across the pan, pressing it down firmly to form the crust.
Step 5
Bake the macaroni crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust has set.
Step 6
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 50g of shredded mozzarella cheese and 100g of shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce.
Step 8
Add the pepperoni slices, bell pepper slices, and black olives as desired, or customize with your favorite toppings.
Step 9
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
