- Hey friends, speaking of friends,
0:04
I've got several friends coming in today
0:09
to help me work on the Paula Dean Bag Lady Foundation.
0:14
A foundation I started 11 years ago
0:19
and it's to help women and their children,
0:22
should they have children.
0:24
So they're coming in to help me work on that project.
0:28
But I thought, dad-gummit,
0:31
I don't know what time they're gonna stagger in.
0:34
So I thought pizza night, pizza night.
0:38
This is a great recipe that I'm gonna share with you.
0:45
And it's gonna be pizza,
0:47
but it's not gonna have a crust.
0:50
So that's good.
0:52
That's taking some of the calories away from us.
0:54
Alright, now I'm starting with a sweet Italian sausage.
1:00
I better move it up here to the bigger light.
1:05
And I've got fresh portobello mushrooms.
1:11
I'm trying to just get this broken up.
1:13
I've got some Canadian bacon, some onion and garlic
1:17
and we're gonna let all this cook together
1:21
and then I'm gonna drain it.
1:27
But all this goes in the oven.
1:29
So I thought, well, you know, if they're coming in
1:32
at different times, this is perfect,
1:37
'cause they can heat it up,
1:39
they can stick it in the microwave and be done with it.
1:44
So I thought that was a pretty good idea.
1:47
Alright, I've broken up our sausage a little bit
1:49
so I'm gonna go ahead and add our Canadian bacon
1:53
and our onions
1:55
(pan sizzling)
1:58
and our fresh garlic.
2:01
(pan sizzling)
2:05
It's a sizzling, y'all.
2:07
Alright y'all, I got everything nice and crumbly,
2:10
now I'm gonna add a half a cup of a red wine
2:17
and you're gonna find that the recipe tells you to drain
2:23
your meat and vegetables, but it was nothing to drain.
2:29
So I'm just gonna add the wine
2:32
and I'm gonna let it cook for a few more minutes
2:35
until almost all the moisture has evaporated.
2:44
(pan scraping)
2:45
(spoon tapping)
2:46
About 10 minutes.
2:48
For the next layer, while our wine is reducing in that,
2:51
we're gonna mix together Parmesan cheese,
2:56
one cup of sour cream
3:03
(spoon trapping)
3:04
and one cup of ricotta.
3:07
Ri-coat-at? I don't know how an Italian'd say it.
3:10
Ricotta.
3:11
(spoon tapping)
3:12
That's my southern tongue. The way it sees it.
3:18
All right, so we'll be sitting this to the side
3:20
after we get this mixed up.
3:27
Oh, my gracious, this is gonna be so good.
3:30
Alright, almost all of the liquid has dissolved.
3:36
So add our two jars
3:40
and these are 26 ounce jars of marinara sauce.
3:46
A little red pepper, dried, flaked red pepper.
3:55
Yeah.
4:00
And we're gonna let this cook for a few minutes
4:06
and so we're gonna start the process
4:10
(spoon tapping)
4:10
of putting our pizza together.
4:13
So I've got a prepared bowl, a prepared 13 x 9 x 2.
4:17
And when I say prepared,
4:22
that means it's been sprayed so it won't stick.
4:27
And I'm gonna put half of my pasta down.
4:32
Like I said, this is our crust.
4:35
So I guess we hadn't saved any calories have we? (laughing)
4:42
Crust, crust, crust.
4:46
Okay.
4:49
And I'm gonna put half of the sauce.
4:51
I had to put the lid on this,
4:53
'cause it's wanting to pop out on me.
4:57
(liquid boiling)
5:01
And I don't want to pop out on y'all.
5:07
Oh gosh, doesn't that looked delicious.
5:11
Okay, so we're gonna add, we added half the pasta.
5:15
Now we're gonna add half of our sauce.
5:21
And I'm just gonna have to try to eyeball this
5:27
and guess which half I'm using. (laughing)
5:39
Very, very good.
5:44
So that looks about like half, Theresa.
5:47
- [Theresa] Mm-mm. My mouth is watering.
5:49
My mouth's watering.
5:51
- [Paula] (laughing) I know it.
5:55
All right, now we've got our ricotta mixture here
6:04
and we're gonna put all of it on this layer.
6:16
I think all I'm gonna have to do when the girls get here
6:20
is just make a little salad.
6:24
- [Theresa] That's it?
6:25
- [Paula] And that's it. That's it honey.
6:27
(spoon tapping)
6:33
Okay. And I wanna make sure that gets evenly distributed.
6:44
Oh, my gracious.
6:47
(spoon tapping)
6:48
Oh my gracious, gracious.
6:51
Alright, now we're gonna top it
6:52
with half of our grated mozzarella cheese.
6:58
Are we sinning yet? (laughing)
7:02
I think we're sinning.
7:08
Does that look like about half, Theresa?
7:11
- [Theresa] It looks so yummy.
7:13
- [Paula] Yes, alright, now we're gonna
7:17
top the rest of our pasta on top.
7:23
- [Theresa] You used all that pasta,
7:25
which is unusual for us.
7:26
- [Paula] I know.
7:27
- [Theresa] This when the first recipes that-
7:28
- [Paula] I know, I think I'm gonna be able
7:30
to get it all in there,
7:32
but this is going to be a full, full dish,
7:35
'cause I still gotta get that in there.
7:36
(Theresa snickering)
7:38
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that. (chuckling)
7:41
- [Theresa] And that's a deep dish pan.
7:45
- Yeah.
7:49
(spoon scraping)
7:51
We're gonna need to put a sheet pan underneath this,
7:55
(spoon scraping)
7:57
when it goes in the oven,
8:03
in case it needs to run over.
8:11
(spoon scraping)
8:17
I am starving. (chuckling)
8:21
- [Theresa] Are you gonna be able to wait
8:22
'til they go out here? - [Paula] I don't know.
8:24
I don't know.
8:26
(spoon scraping)
8:29
I don't know, Theresa.
8:35
- [Theresa] My bet's on no.
8:37
- [Paula] (chuckling) Well I'll at least have to taste it,
8:40
you know, to-
8:41
- [Theresa] You don't wanna poison 'em.
8:43
- [Paula] No, I wanna make sure it's as good
8:47
as I tell 'em it is, right.
8:52
- [Theresa] Part of being the host.
8:55
- [Paula] Mm-hm.
8:56
Alright, we actually got two more things to add, y'all.
9:01
So I'm gonna add the other half of the mozzarella.
9:13
Now if you like you could use fresh mozzarella.
9:17
I could use this fresh mozzarella on my pizzas.
9:20
I always put that on.
9:23
Okay, now all we're gonna do
9:27
is top it like every good pizza should be topped.
9:32
That's with pepperoni.
9:34
Know we're gonna get all this pepperoni on here, Theresa,
9:37
that it called for.
9:39
- [Theresa] That is a lot of pepperoni.
9:41
It says one cup of pepperoni though.
9:44
You don't want anybody to not get a piece.
9:46
- [Paula] Oh I'm gonna make sure they can get a piece.
9:51
Maybe another piece, extra piece.
9:57
I was a little skimpy with it at first,
10:01
'cause I wanted to make sure
10:07
- [Theresa] That is probably- - [Paula] Is that one piece?
10:09
- [Theresa] That is probably
10:10
a heavy-handed cup of pepperoni,
10:13
because I know you,
10:15
- [Paula] (laughing) I don't wanna cheat
10:19
nobody out of nothing.
10:23
Look at that y'all. Is that not a beauty?
10:28
I say yes. In the oven it goes.
10:34
350 I think it is, Theresa, right?
10:36
- [Theresa] Yes ma'am. 45 minutes.
10:40
- Mm-mm-mm.
10:40
- [Theresa] 'til hot and bubbly.
10:42
- [Paula] Mm.
10:43
Now Aunt Peggy you weren't in here when I was making this,
10:45
'cause I was telling everybody we got girlfriends coming in
10:50
and they're gonna be here for most of the week
10:53
and so I wanted to have something ready for them to...
11:00
[ Peggy] Dig in to?
11:01
- Yeah, so then I could feed them supper
11:03
or lunch or whatever.
11:04
So this is a pizza, a pizza casserole.
11:10
And I do want you to taste this.
11:13
It's got pasta instead of a crust.
11:21
All right and they just gonna have to know
11:22
I dipped out it for hope.
11:24
They could get here.
11:26
- [Theresa] You're being our taste tester today, Aunt Peggy.
11:28
We see you with all your plates.
11:29
- [Paula] Yes. Yes.
11:32
Look at that. Look at this.
11:41
Love that mozzarella.
11:46
It's been a long time since I've tasted this one as well.
11:54
Mm, look how pretty that looks
11:56
and you see the pepperoni got kind of crispy on the edges.
12:01
I love that.
12:06
So be careful, Aunt Peggy,
12:06
this is straight outta the oven too.
12:18
So good.
12:24
This is a real cross between a pizza and a lasagna, y'all.
12:29
The ricotta cheese kinda screams lasagna
12:36
and the rest screams pizza.
12:40
It's delicious.
12:41
Y'all have to put this in your your recipe file.
12:47
'cause I think everybody will love it.
12:49
Just add in french bread and you hauling money.
12:53
"Love and Best Dishes." What you think, Aunt Peggy?
12:55
Have you got the guts to taste it yet?
12:57
As hot as it is. (laughing)
13:00
- [Peggy] I'm working on it.
13:02
- Mm-mm-mm.
