4How to make?

You can start off by heating the oven to a high temperature, 375 degree Fahrenheit. Use cooking spray to grease a baking dish. Unroll the bread sticks or cut them up into smaller pieces. Arrange them randomly onto the bottom of the dish. If you would rather prepare the ingredients like meatballs and pizza sauce at home, go right ahead. You would need to get additional ingredients like minced meat that needs to be seasoned and floured before frying them lightly. Prepare the pizza sauce by sautéing garlic in olive oil, adding blanched tomatoes and seasoning the same before you smash the mixture manually or by using a blender. Add in the meatballs along with the vegetables chopped. The vegetables could be sautéed in olive oil and added to the mixture along with the pizza sauce. Top the same with cheese and pop in the oven. Allow to cook on high heat for about eight minutes till you find the cheese has bubbled over. Allow the same to stand for five minutes or so before you serve it.
