A reduced fat version of this fun dish!
I like this one because it is a greatly reduced calorie version of this recipe, but it still has the fun pizza element to it which means your kids will eat every last bite.
You can also change it up by swapping the multi-grain or whole-wheat pasta with vegetable or spinach pasta noodles, or even going with a gluten free option such as a rice-based noodle.
