Pasta Pizza Sticks

  • 150 g Penne Rigate

  • 100 g Pasta Sauce

  • 125 g Mozzarella

  • Topping Ingredients (onions, corn, bell peppers, salami, olives)

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • Wooden skewers


Preparation in 7 steps


  1. Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Then drain, rinse with cold water, and drain well.


  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes with the tomato paste, spices, and herbs. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, or use ready-made pasta sauce.


  3. Prepare the skewers: Carefully thread the cooled pasta onto the wooden skewers – about 8 pieces per skewer. This works best with rigatoni, as they are large enough.


  4. Top: Place the pasta skewers on a lightly oiled baking sheet and generously spread with the tomato sauce.


  5. Top: Now comes the pizza twist: Top the skewers with chopped ingredients such as salami, peppers, olives, or corn.


  6. Top with cheese: Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the pasta sticks.


  7. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted and lightly browned.


💡 Save calories –

Total savings potential: 👉 Up to 150–200 kcal per serving if you:


  • Reduce mozzarella to 75g or use light mozzarella

  • Reduce pasta to 100g instead of 150g dry – sufficient for a rich topping

  • Replace salami with lean ham, tofu, or omit it

  • Make your own pasta sauce (e.g., from passata, with no added sugar)

  • Use toppings like corn and olives sparingly (they contain more sugar/fat than often thought)


👉 This keeps the sticks hearty, cheesy, and filling, but with a significantly better calorie balance
