Easy Pizza Pasta Skewers

The perfect appetizer, snack or lunch. These will disappear in minutes.

I stumbled on this idea on IG and had to try it “for my kids”. They love pasta and pizza so why not mash them together right? Amazingly yummy results with this one. Fun and easy to make, we all participated and they were done in less than 20 minutes.

The toppings here are customizable and you can make these vegan by using vegan mozzarella cheese and leaving out the pepperoni. You can also make them gluten free by making them with a gluten free pasta.

SUPER IMPORTANT: Do not overcook your pasta – make sure its al dente! If that happens, you won’t be able to skewer them onto the sticks.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb penne pasta, cooked AL DENTE

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 3 oz sliced kalamata olives

Skewer your cooled pasta horizontally onto your sticks (about 12 pasta pieces on each stick) and place them on the baking sheet. Brush your pasta all over with the sauce. Sprinkle with your shredded cheese and then the toppings. Bake for 5 minutes or until beginning to turn golden brown. Watch them. Remove and sprinkle with chili pepper flakes.
