Cicis Mac and Cheese Pizza Recipe
Mac and cheese on a pizza crust? Yes—it works, and it works really well if you get the ratio just right like Cicis does!My first tip is to use a thinner layer of cheese sauce than you think—you want creamy, not slippery.I use a basic stovetop mac with elbow noodles and extra-sharp cheddar so the flavor doesn’t fade once it bakes.Par-bake your crust before adding the mac—it helps keep everything from turning into a soggy mess.Finish it with a tiny sprinkle of salt after baking—it really balances the pasta and dough together!
