Teenagers love this meal!..Set out a bunch of bowls of toppings and let them create their own cavatini based on what they like on their pizza. Make sure the meat is already cooked and then just pop in the microwave to heat the sauce and melt the cheese. I also serve english muffins with this party meal. These can be toasted with garlic butter and parmesan cheese or make into miniature pizzas.
Watching your carbs?
No problem. Just use whole wheat pasta and bread.
Your kids will love this meal!
