I made this last night it was really good , the only thing I do differently is not I add as much basil and oregano to the marinara sauce per my husband’s request. Also, I didn’t stuff the cheese in before I baked it I added it to the top the last five minutes of cooking time
Such an easy recipe that taste amazing! My husband and son loved it! This is definitely a keeper!
I made this last night with ZERO point sauce! OMG its so yummy paired broccoli and whole wheat pasta 1 cup for 6 points!
I’m making this for dinner. In oven now. Only thing I didnt have pepperoni, so I used Italian cappicolla. Surely the smartpoints will be different. First time making this.
