PIZZA NIGHT! Tuesday are probably one of my favorite nights of the week because I can always look forward to some fabulous pizza! Tonight we opted to go vegetarian and went with a pesto pizza. This was the first pizza I made with my pizza stone. It was back long ago in college (8 months) when Mallory and I started to experiment with our pizza toppings. Therefore this pizza tonight is dedicated to her!! I came home with some fresh basil after the farmers market this weekend so I took some time to make fresh pesto.
Mozzarella, Tomato and Pesto Pizza
Ingredients
For Pesto
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup packed of basil leaves
- garlic
- parmesan cheese
- pine nuts
- salt and pepper
For Pizza
- 1 pizza crust
- homemade pesto
- fresh mozzarella
- tomato slices
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Stick everything into a food processor, strain in your olive oil and you have freshly made pesto!
For the Pizza
- Then all you need to do is assemble your pizza. Use the pesto as your base, as you don't need a red sauce, then layer on your fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes and salt and pepper! Place your pizza into a preheated over (500 degrees) on your pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes! Enjoy!!
