How do you make oven pizza dinners a bit more exciting?

[moremeatballs]

We are super busy at the minute. DP working very long shifts, I’m working and studying alongside so quite often it gets to 7pm and we’re bunging an oven pizza in the oven.

They’ve been a lifesaver recently and I’m not complaining (huge pizza lover ) but I was wondering what you all serve alongside pizza to make it a bit more of a meal rather than just a few slices of pizza on your plate if you see what I mean? Same goes for other oven favourites we’ve been having lately - kievs, fish cakes etc.

Looking forward to some inspiration TIA!

Does anybody know if it's possible to turn fresh tortellini into a nice pasta bake that doesn't involve tomatoes in any shape or form? I'm thinking a kind of creamy al forno type thing.

Double cream, Parmesan, pepper and garlic in a sauce pan until bubbling.

Although I'd just mix in and serve as find pasta bakes a bit stodgy.

Thanks Coriander. I'm not a big pasta bake fan, but when I've had pasta al forno on holiday, it's always been lovely. Your suggestion sounds great and I'll give it a try.

Not sure about potato with pizza - double carbs!
