This is one of my favorite go-to recipes for quick weeknight dinners. It is fast, easy, and requires a minimum of ingredients, things that are mostly easy to keep on hand. Despite the simple ingredients, the flavor is rich and delightful. You can get some pretty colors going on with the toppings you choose, and they add some nice varieties of texture as well. Plus, you can let everyone add their own toppings to their liking.
