None of us are strangers to busyness. It seems like the older the kids get the busier life is. I welcome all of the new seasons, but I am constantly trying to find ways to make life a little more simple. One of the ways we like to simplify is with our food. The reality is that kids enjoy simple foods and I enjoy not getting stuck in a recipe rut. So, when I was presented with the idea of creating a few Ragú® New TraDishes by mixing and matching a few classic Ragú® recipes into a simple and fun new one, I was thrilled to get creative.
With game days upon us and the weather getting increasingly cooler, I wanted to create something that would be a fun finger food that would also be hearty and warm the belly. The boys really enjoy just about any type of pizza. It is also a great way for me to sneak in a few veggies. So, creating this delicious new spin on pizza was a hit! I combined the Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe and the Chunky Gardenstyle Pizza recipe. We included black olives on ours just because the boys enjoy them. You could easily incorporate shredded carrots or any other favorite veggie in order to keep the pizza a little better for you and your growing kids.
I decided to incorporate the Chunky Tomato, Garlic & Onion Ragú Sauce into this recipe in order to include a few more veggies. The family loves the flavor and I appreciate the Authentic Italian taste! I’ve used this sauce in many family favorite recipes in order to simplify cooking over the years.

We’ve been doing homemade pizza a lot lately so I like this mixup. The adding new veggies and shredded carrots is a good trick. I have one section without cheese because one my boys is allergic to dairy. The veggies would make it more hearty.
