Easy Pizza Pasta Recipe

As an Amazon Associate/Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Pizza Pasta RecipesTwo of my favorite meals are pizza and pasta. I recently came across a number of recipes combining the two into pizza pasta. It sounded and looked delicious so I had to give it a try. I combined these recipes and added a few of my own twists.

The original recipes called for ground beef, which I’d love to try next time but was very happy with the subtleness of the diced chicken. Kora & Logan are not big fans of chicken and they didn’t even know they were eating it in this recipe! We all enjoyed this so much that it has jumped into our top 10 favorite family recipes and we can’t wait to make it again.

    This is something my family would LOVE. Anything with pasta, cheese, & red sauce is a winner. Thanks for the recipe!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog originally got its name because my husband, Dave, and I had two kids born a year apart. Back then, we always joked that “the kids were too wired and we were too tired.”

Fast forward to today—those two kids are navigating college life (how did that happen so fast?!), and our house is a little quieter. But the story didn't stop there. Now that I'm a 50+ mom and an empty nester-in-training, the definition of 2 Wired 2 Tired has evolved.

Today I'm wired for new adventures, Disney magic, smart technology, and unforgettable travel experiences and I’m completely tired of bad gadgets, boring trips!


Whether you're a midlife mom looking for the ultimate 50+ Disney World guide, planning a relaxing Michigan Lake Life getaway, organizing a college dorm packing list, or just looking for a killer recipe to enjoy with a great book, you're in the right place.

The chaotic toddler years might be behind us, but the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here. Let's tackle this next exciting chapter together!
