One of the reasons this recipe has been a favorite of ours is because you are getting all of those good hearty flavors of an Italian dish with only a fraction of the time spent on preparing it.
Prep time is everything when you are trying to make a quick and easy everyday meal and this recipe is quick to prepare! Since all ingredients are being added into one baking dish and placed in the oven, there’s no extra steps. Doesn’t get much simpler than that.
I chose to list frozen breadsticks as a side for this dish, but you can buy refrigerated pizza dough and cut them into strips and make these up ahead of time per package instructions to serve with the meal. You can also double this recipe to feed more people.
