Pizza Bowl For One

olive oil

Italian sausage

onions

green bell peppers

garlic (, minced)

marinara sauce (, divided)

pepperoni

mozzarella cheese

basil

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and break it apart with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sausage has browned and has cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped onions, chopped green bell peppers, and minced garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions have softened. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the sausage and vegetables onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the grease.

Coat the bottom of a 10-ounce ramekin with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce.

Line the bottom of the dish with the pepperoni slices.

Add the sautéed sausage and vegetables to the dish, smoothing it out into an even layer.

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce on top of the sausage layer.

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible spills. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the pizza bowl from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before enjoying it.

Copycat Olive Garden Pizza Bowl

Flour

bread

Alfredo Sauce (if making

butter

heavy cream

nutmeg

dry mustard

salt

white pepper

Parmesan cheese

Mini Ricotta Meatballs (if making

milk

beef (85/15)

¾ cup whole milk ricotta drained of any liquid

onion

flat leaf parsley chopped fine, or half that of dry

black pepper

mozzarella

Italian Tomato Sauce (see our recipe here),

olive oil, divided

Fontina cheese, shredded

mozzarella,

Parmesan cheese, divided

Cut each one-pound bread dough in half to make four 8-ounce pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten into a circle on a well-floured counter. The dough will take some time to relax so keep pressing into a circle, let it relax and press again until each dough ball is eight inches across. Cover with a dish towel until later.

If making the Alfredo sauce from scratch, melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat and add cream, nutmeg, mustard, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir and heat and once heated, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Heat to melt the cheese and set aside off heat. The sauce can be made a day ahead.

If making the meatballs from scratch, heat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl place milk and bread, pressing the bread into the milk. Let this set while you prepare the other ingredients.

In a medium to large bowl place the ground beef, the egg, ricotta, onion, Parmesan, parsley, nutmeg, salt, pepper and mozzarella.

Squeeze all milk out of the bread with your hands and add the bread to the beef mixture. Discard milk.

Mix the meatball mixture until combined. Use a one-ounce scoop and scoop out all of the mixture onto your counter or cutting board.

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto the parchment. Pick up each meatball and pull apart into two, giving you two half-ounce meatballs. Will yield about 32-36 half-ounce meatballs.

Roll each into a ball using your palms and line up on the tray. Then drizzle two more tablespoons of oil over the top and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside.

If making the Italian tomato sauce from scratch, follow recipe here. Set aside.

Once the bread dough has softened and stretched to an eight-inch circle, dust off all flour and place back onto a flour free counter.

We used a metal mixing bowl to bake our dough into a bowl. The bowl was 7” wide at top, 3” wide at bottom and 4” deep. You can use any bowl, ceramic or metal as long as it is oven safe. You can also use a bowl with dimensions slightly different than ours. The trick is to find an oven safe bowl that will hold the dough in place while it bakes with a finished opening no wider than 7”.

Place the bowl on a foil lined sheet tray upside down and place in the preheated oven to heat.

Use olive oil and brush a ring of oil around the dough leaving about 3” in the center. Repeat for the remaining three doughs. Divid one cup of the Parmesan cheese over each oil ring, pressing into the oil.

Open the oven door and brush the bowl with the olive oil and then quickly place one 8” prepared dough over the bowl, cheese face up. If you have more than one bowl, bake as many at once as you want. If just one bowl, then repeat process until all four doughs are baked.

Bake for five minutes then rotate pan and bake for five more minutes. At this point, the outside should be nice and golden brown. Open oven door and slide rack out. Using a dish towel or mitts, lift off cooked dough bowl and stand upright on a cooling rack to cool. Brush more oil on the bowl and continue until all four are baked. Set these aside and turn off the oven.

In a medium pan, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking up pieces as you cook. Once browned, add all of the tomato sauce and keep warm.

Warm the Alfredo sauce. If made ahead, the butter fat will separate. Just whisk as you heat and it will come together and stabilize.

Place the meatballs in a sauce pan with a little water and heat.

To serve, lay out the four pizza-bowls on serving plates and divided the hot Alfredo sauce between the four.

Next divide the shredded Fontina over the Alfredo.

Next place half of the meat sauce over the Fontina.

Next place half of the meatballs over the meat sauce.

Next divide the shredded mozzarella over the meatballs.

Next divide the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.

Finally divide the remaining meatballs over the meat sauce and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cup of Parmesan cheese.

Low Carb Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl (TikTok Viral!)

cottage cheese, low fat

marinara or pizza sauce

chopped bell pepper, optional

oz pepperoni

mozzarella cheese, reduced fat

Italian seasoning

garlic powder

Salt

Black pepper

Add the cottage cheese, marinara or pizza sauce, chopped bell pepper, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to a small mixing bowl. I like to chop up almost all the pepperoni and mix in here, besides about 5 slices to put on top. Season the cottage cheese mixture with salt and black pepper.

Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe bowl. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and remaining pepperoni slices. Add extra Italian seasoning on top.

Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Then broil on high for another 2-3 minutes, watching carefully so it doesn&#8217;t burn. Alternatively you could microwave the low carb pizza bowl for 1 1/2 minutes.

These incredible Copycat Olive Garden Pizza Bowls would be perfect for a Friday night family feast. Filled with layers of Alfredo Sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, meatballs, and pizza sauce. All in an edible pizza bowl. So much fun for your family and so easy to make!!

Copycat Olive Garden Pizza Bowls

pizza dough (homemade, store-bought, or bread machine made.)

200 ml. Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce, store-bought

store-bought frozen meatballs (thawed per package in the microwave)

350 ml. favorite store-bought tomato pizza or pasta sauce

mozzarella (shredded)

Parmesan (finely grated)

Baking Sheet

Foil

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

Preheat oven to 450F.

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

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

Brush the 4&quot; bowls generously on the outside with olive oil. 

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Heat in oven until cheese melts. Do not overcook.

This  was a huge hit at my house!! They really loved it.

If you are on a low-carb or keto diet then you will love this Pizza Bowl recipe! It is essentially a crustless pizza with all of your favorite pizza toppings baked up into a cheesy low-carb dinner! Only 10 grams net carbs per serving!

Pizza Bowl

Italian turkey sausage links,

green bell pepper, diced

oregano

garlic powder and crushed red pepper

marinara sauce

turkey pepperoni pepperoni

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 4 individual-sized (2 cup) oven-proof baking dishes with cooking spray. Meanwhile, coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Crumble in turkey sausage. Add in onion and pepper and cook, breaking up the sausage until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in oregano, garlic powder and red pepper and remove from the heat.

Divide half of the sauce among the four baking dishes, spreading out in an even layer. Top with the sausage mixture, dividing among the four dishes evenly.

Top with the remaining sauce. Top with cheese and arrange pepperoni on top.

Bake until bubbling hot, about 12 to 18 minutes depending on how wide the bowls are. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

We do the same with cheesesteak bowls too at home or out.

Oh my goodness, those look so delicious! Pizza is one of the things I missed the most on a low-carb diet. I'd often buy a pizza and eat the topping and leave the crust. So wasteful. This is a much better idea for sure!

This was such a fun and delicious recipe! There's nothing not to love about all these flavors. Definitely making it again for the Super Bowl!

I made these pizza bowls for dinner last night and my family loved them! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
