Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place pizza crust on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Stir 1/2 the cheese sauce and butter into the cavatappi pot over medium heat until butter is melted and pasta-cheese mixture is combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the cheese sauce onto the crust. Pour pasta-cheese mixture over the Cheddar cheese and top with another 1/2 the cheese sauce.

Step 5

Bake pizza in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
