ckreef Posted December 3, 2015 Report Posted December 3, 2015 A Reef's Bistro original creation. Is it spaghetti? Is it pizza? - it's Piz-a-Getti Baked spaghetti and meatballs topped with full pizza toppings. In this case, half pineapple, olives, and ham - the other half tomato slices, feta cheese, green peppers and pepperoni. With a generous amount of mozzarella. Basic Italian meatballs. Usually there is some amount of Italian sausage in the mix but the Bistro was all out so I made the best of it. Roll the balls in flour. Normally I make bigger meatballs but wanted small ones for this cook. A quick pan fry (old school electric fry pan) to get some color - no need to cook them through at this point. Dump the balls in homemade Spaghetti sauce and simmer to let them finish cooking. Gathered up the basic pizza toppings. Noodles in the bottom of a ceramic pie pan. Only cook the noodles for half the normal time. Add a little sauce and a fairly generous amount of water (this keeps the baked Spaghetti from drying out). Added some meatballs and more sauce (not pictured). A generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Build the pizza layer. Bake covered at 425*. After 15 minutes remove the cover. Bake an additional 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your satisfaction. Pull and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy a slice of money. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

GoFrogs91 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Posted December 3, 2015 Cool hybrid Charles. Lookin good! Benton
ckreef Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks everyone. I wanted Spaghetti and Meatballs but I had some pizza toppings in the fridge that really needed using up ...... And so the Piz-a-Getti was born. Plus I have some Spaghetti sauce with meatballs in the freezer for future use. I guess I just traded freezer space for fridge space - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
