Pesto Pizza

One of my favorite pizza from Lennie s. I called this pizza as a there’s no topping  pizza. Quick, simple and delicious – you will eschew takeaway pizzas forever after. You will need about half a cup of pesto dip which you can either make yourself or buy at the supermarket. So,  grab a pre –  made pizza  base from the supermarket and away you go.

Ingredients:
1 ready made pizza base
1 small tub of good quality basil  pesto dip
4 mushrooms, sliced
1 zucchini, grated
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 small carrot, grated
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 small salad onion, sliced thinly
Handful black olives, pitted
250 grams feta cheese, grated
Six or seven drops of Tabasco sauce

How:
  • Preheat oven to 240 degrees Celsius
  • Place pre-made pizza base on a tray and spread pizza base evenly with pesto dip.
  • Spread a few drops tabasco in different places over the pesto layer
  • Place the remaining ingredients on top in whatever order you wish
  • You may like to sprinkle the feta cheese on last as it looks attractive when baked.
  • Place pizza in oven, turn heat down to 230 degrees Celsius and cook for approximately 20 minutes – possibly 25 minutes
  • You may want to check pizza every now and then because, at this heat, things  burn swiftly
  • When cooked (everything will have a golden glow) remove from oven, cut into pieces and scoff with joyful abandon.
