Pizza Pasta

This is a pasta dish inspired by pizza...it's just much faster to make!

Serves about 4

• 4 c cooked pasta (about 3c dry), I recommend penne or macaroni or some other firm/small piece pasta, not spaghetti or linguini.
• Favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, sausage chunks, olives, peppers, onions, etc Pre-cook anything that is raw.
• 1 can stewed or diced tomatoes and/or 1 small can tomato sauce
• about 1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
• (optional) basil, oregano, garlic powder
  

Cook the noodles and drain off excess water. Return noodles to a wide saucepan (or a high-sided fry pan). Add tomatoes/sauce and stir a bit until the juices release into the pasta. (If the stewed tomatoes are in large chunks, chop them up before adding.) Add spices and all other pizza toppings, and sprinkle in cheese. It should be a little cheesy but not stuck together in one big gob.
Serve immediately.
