The Easiest Way to Make Matzah Pizza

No more soggy matzah pizza this Pesach!

We love matzah pizza in our house. (I think I do more than the kids!) It’s such a simple chol hamoed meal without too much work.

In the past, we used marinara sauce. But the Pesach versions tend to be more watery than the all-year-round version so I’d have to run it through a strainer and it still wasn’t great.

Now we just use tomato paste!

and season it the way we like it.

Then, anyone who is in the mood of a pizza can just pull this container out of the fridge and scoop out a dollop.

Spread it in a thin layer on the matzah, leaving just enough room on the edge for a “crust” you can hold,

and top with cheese.

We like to make ours in the Betty Crocker, but it works great in the oven, too, if you have a dairy one available.

    The sauciness in the marinara is what makes matza pizza so good!
