Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta uncooked
  • 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
  • 2/3 cup sweet pepper chopped
  • black olive slices to taste

Equipment

  • 10-inch nonstick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. Rinse and drain well.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Sauté chopped sweet pepper and sweet onion until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet until hot. Spread drained pasta evenly across the bottom of the pan and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the underside turns golden brown and crispy.
  4. Turn the pasta out onto a plate, then carefully slip it back into the skillet with the browned side facing up.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and spread pizza sauce over the pasta, followed by the cooked peppers and onions.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, add black olive slices, and dust with Italian seasoning.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 more minutes, until the cheese is completely melted.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before cutting into wedges like a pizza.

Notes

This versatile dish can be customized with your favorite pizza toppings. Try adding pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, or zucchini for different variations. For a vegetarian option, simply stick with vegetables and cheese.
The key to achieving the perfect crispy base is using a good nonstick skillet and allowing the pasta to cook undisturbed until golden brown. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet to maintain some crispness.
