It's almost guaranteed that a couple days after making spaghetti and meatballs, I will be making pizza with the leftover sauce and meatballs. Generally, I like a thin crust, New York style pizza, with a lighter sauce than what I make for pasta. However, this particular pizza requires a thick crust, not heavy but light and airy. I top it with my leftover sauce, freshly grated mozzarella, sliced meatballs, freshly sauteed onions and red peppers. I also threw on a few slices of pepperoni during the last five minutes of baking. The results: A hearty pizza packed with intense flavor.
A salad and two slices of pizza was very satisfying. Not wanting to feel "stuffed", I cut a third slice in half (sort of like you do with brownies) and downed that. Fortunately for me, Rich ate the other half of the third slice - saving me from that stuffed feeling while delivering the ultimate compliment.
As I was packing away the leftovers, patting myself on the back of course, I thought I should snap a picture and share it with all of you - even though it's not so sweet.
