The more you dough

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
• Dough for a 12-inch pizza crust (can use homeade, instant mix, or grab a dough ball from Ian’s)
• 1/4 cup creme fraiche
• 1 cup cooked elbow macaroni
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar (we used Babcock’s aged cheddar)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 500°
2. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over your pizza base, then drizzle with creme fraiche
3. Add the elbow macaroni evenly on top
4. Cook for about 8 minutes — until the pizza base cooks through and the cheese melts
5. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with cheddar, and pop it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese
