Pizza Pasta w/ garlic toast! $2.20 per person!

This recipe is just simply amazing. I came across this recipe while I was pregnant with Brendan, my 15 year-old son. I worked at a grocery store as a checker and someone left behind a package of "pizza blend" cheese. So, as I was taking the cheese back to restock the item I noticed a "pizza pasta" recipe on the back - being pregnant any recipe looked amazing :). Anyway, I took a mental rundown of the recipe and have been making it a couple of times a year every since ;)

3 jars of Great Value Pizza Sauce - $1.00 each = $3.00
