Stromboli

We decided that we wanted to try something new for pizza night and I immediately thought of trying Stromboli. It had been on my list for ages and I’d just never gotten around to making it. Stromboli is a rolled pizza that is often served at pizza restaurants. It differs from Calzone in that it is rolled into a pizza log rather than just folded. Most recipes I saw online included the sauce inside the roll. However, Alex and I decided that we didn’t really care for that. Expect an updated recipe to this one in the future!The base for this recipe is a premade pizza dough. You can use whatever you prefer, our preferred recipe is in the bread maker. You could even make this gluten free by substituting for gluten free dough. You can use any pizza toppings you prefer, we just used our standard go-to pepperoni and sausage.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:230]

Tomato Rigatoni with Pepperoni and Parmesan

I found this recipe while perusing my copy of March’s Food Network Magazine. I thought it looked amazing in the magazine and with a few tweaks it would be perfect for dinner! This would be great for a large crowd since it is easily doubled or even tripled. It also would make a fantastic potluck dish since it could easily be made ahead of time and kept warm in a crockpot.Alex and I were so surprised at how delicious this dish turned out. With the red pepper flakes you might think its would be spicy, but it really isn’t. The pepper flakes simply give the dish the right amount of love when paired with the other spices. We also decided this dish would be wonderful if we added sausage both with and instead of the pepperoni. It’s really up to you which you would prefer, although one of the best things about this recipe was munching on the crispy pepperoni![amd-yrecipe-recipe:224]Source: Adapted from Food Network Magazine: March 2016
