I love healthy pasta recipes. They are usually quick to prepare, filling, and they make great leftovers. I’m always on the hunt for a new veggie combo or a simple and tasty sauce to dress a pasta. Lucky me, this recipe has both. |

The temperature has dipped below 85 degrees, and that can only mean one thing in Houston: Fall has arrived. I know what you northerners are thinking, and you are probably right.

The standout here is the homemade pizza crust. If you have never done this before, don’t be scared. It’s really easy. The hardest part is waiting for the dough to rise for ~2 hours. |
