Four bowties. Half a bag of rotini. Half a bag of one you can't exactly pronounce. One questionable amount of penne.

You know the ones.

Today, we're embracing the beautiful chaos hiding in the back of your pantry and turning it into something cheesy, saucy, and surprisingly crave-worthy with WisePies Marinara.

Because not every great meal starts with a grocery list. Sometimes it starts with a cabinet clean-out, a little creativity, and the decision to have some fun.

Here's how we make it:

Frankenstein Pasta Bake
Part pantry clean-out. Part comfort food masterpiece.

Ingredients (serves 6–8):

• 1 jar WisePies Marinara (Roasted Red Bell Pepper Marinara, Hatch Green Chile Marinara, or Spicy Marinara)
• 1–2 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup fresh parmesan
• Any other cheese hanging out in your fridge that you'd like to use up
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 6 cups pasta (mix and match your favorite shapes)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Or cook it all together and embrace a little pasta chaos. We don't judge.

Toss the pasta with your favorite WisePies Marinara. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Stir in half the mozzarella and any extra cheese you're trying to use up.

Transfer to your baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bonus points for fresh basil.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly, golden, and impossible to leave alone.

Pro Tip: Making it in the crock pot? Add a few dollops of cottage cheese throughout the pasta before cooking. It works just like ricotta, helps keep everything creamy, and won't dry out.

Whether you're feeding hungry kids, meal-prepping for the week, hosting friends, or finally reclaiming shelf space from those half-empty pasta bags, this recipe proves that a little kitchen creativity can go a long way.

Less waste. More cheese. Everybody wins.

Remember when summer lasted forever?

It was running through grass with bare feet, dropping your bike in your friend's yard, and staying outside until someone beckoned you home.

The funny thing about summer is that it never really loses its magic.

These days, we just get to be the ones packing the bags, cheering from the sidelines, and making sure everyone has something to eat before they head back out toward the next sunshine-filled adventure.

Luckily, Mega Bites are here when you need backup.

Ready in minutes, gone in seconds, and something you can feel good about serving before they come tearing back through the door again.

When Albuquerque needs a solid foundation — they call Guzman Construction. When WisePies needed a Title Sponsor who shows up with their whole heart? Same answer.

Guzman Construction didn’t just lend their name to the 6th Annual WisePies Pizza Run — they brought equipment, energy, and a commitment to this community that was on full display at Aperture Plaza at Mesa del Sol.

Thank you for helping us make wishes come true and empowering the next generation of young runners. Albuquerque is lucky to have you.

Did you snap a photo with the equipment? Drop it in the comments!

A Walk of Fame star belongs to the sponsors who make it all possible — and Albertsons Market and Market Street have earned theirs.

As Title Sponsors of the 6th Annual WisePies Pizza Run, Albertsons and Market Street helped us roll out the blue carpet for Wish Kids, Girls on the Run participants, and hundreds of Albuquerque community members. This event would not exist without your partnership, your resources, and your genuine belief in what this community deserves. From every runner who crossed the finish line to every wish waiting to be granted — THANK YOU.

Before the cookouts, the gatherings, and the welcome pause from our daily routines, we take a moment to reflect.

Across generations, brave men and women answered a call greater than themselves and so many never made the journey home.

Today, we honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice echoes through every freedom we enjoy, every opportunity we pursue, and every ordinary moment we are privileged to share.

On this Memorial Day, we remember them with gratitude and respect.

It’s officially official, folks! 🍕

The WisePies Pizza Run is officially SOLD OUT, and honestly… y’all, we’re impressed.

Every year, this thing gets bigger, louder, cheesier, and somehow sells out even faster. So whether you signed up months ago like a responsible adult or panic-registered during the “LAST 10 SPOTS” post, we’re glad you’re here.

To everyone joining us on Sunday: thank you for showing up for your community in such a meaningful way. What started as a small fundraiser has grown into something much bigger, and that only happens because people like you choose to be part of it.

Now hydrate, stretch a little, and start preparing for some well-earned carbs. 🍕

See y’all at the starting line. 🏁

For some moms, it’s flowers.
For others, it’s fridge-worthy art projects and macaroni jewelry.

And for some...
it's a quiet moment,
and a hot slice of pizza that no one's taken a bite out of yet.

Motherhood is beautiful, messy, loud, and meaningful—
and occasionally powered by a little peace, pepperoni, and prosecco. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mom.
May it be exactly what you need it to be. 🍕💐
