I thought this was delicious! I used pizza sauce and a mixture of veggies and then brushed the top with basil pesto before baking. Its my boyfriend's New favorite!

I did not like this. I used pizza sauce instead of pasta sauce. I had a hard time getting it folded up right, and the taste was not good to me. Would not make again. If I want pizza I think I will just make a pizza next time.
