Easy Mac and Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
  • 3/4 cup cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)
  • 2/3 (16 ounce) jar cheese sauce (such as Ragu Double Cheddar), divided, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place pizza crust on a baking sheet.

Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.

Stir 1/2 the cheese sauce and butter into the cavatappi pot over medium heat until butter is melted and pasta-cheese mixture is combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the cheese sauce onto the crust. Pour pasta-cheese mixture over the Cheddar cheese, and top with another 1/2 the cheese sauce.

Bake pizza in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
