Copycat Olive Garden Pizza Bowls

Step 1

Have your dough ready if you are making it homemade. Divide into four sections.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 450F.

Step 3

Heat alfredo sauce in a small saucepan. Heat tomato sauce with the defrosted meatballs in a medium saucepan.

Step 4

Place the bowls upside down on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Brush the 4" bowls generously on the outside with olive oil.

Step 6

Make four rounds out of the dough and form around a 4" bowl bottom; the top of the bowl can be slightly wider.

Step 7

Place in the oven immediately, don't let the dough sit as it will stretch. Bake for 17 - 20 minutes or until golden brown and set. Rotate the bowls carefully once or twice for even baking.

Step 8

Let the pizza bowls cool for a few minutes and then remove carefully using a fork to creep the dough away from the sides of the bowl.

Have the sauces piping hot and ready to go.

Step 10

In the bottom of each bowl, place about 1/3 cup of alfredo sauce in each.

Step 11

Sprinkle on a 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan to each bowl.

Step 12

Add six meatballs with sauce on top of the cheese to each bowl.

Step 13

Again, top with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan.
