Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked spaghetti (preferably leftover)

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or your choice of toppings such as veggies or cooked sausage)

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling

Fresh basil leaves for garnishing (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

    Mix the Spaghetti: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti and marinara sauce. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all the spaghetti strands are evenly coated with the sauce and cheese mixture.

      Form the Discs: With clean hands, scoop out small portions of the spaghetti mixture and press them into discs about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed discs on the lined baking sheet, pressing down slightly to ensure they maintain their shape during baking.

        Add Toppings: Carefully top each spaghetti disc with a few slices of pepperoni (or your preferred toppings) and sprinkle with chopped bell peppers. If you like extra cheese, don't hesitate to add more mozzarella on top.

          Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tops of the discs. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.

            Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is nice and bubbly.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the mini spaghetti pizza discs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. These discs make for an exciting appetizer or a delightful party snack served warm!
