i wasn't really sure what we were having for dinner tonight (didn't plan a thing) and while looking thru one of my fresh cookbooks...came across this recipe for 'just like pauline's pesto pizza. that's what i'll make!!!
i keep a supply of homemade pesto in my freezer...and i ALWAYS have cheese. good thing i picked up a pizza dough when i ran thru trader joe's at lunchtime today.
the pizza is SIMPLE!!! dough. cheese. pesto. *though i did add a touch of red sauce...and a thinly sliced shallot. it doesn't get much simpler than that...unless you're talking pasta & pesto. but...that's another one of my 'go-to' meals.
the most difficult part of this dinner was grating the parmesan cheese. mrchazman happened to walk into the kitchen when i was telling him how i had to be VERY CAREFUL so i wouldn't lose a knuckle. he said...you should use the holder for that slicing thing you have. i'm like...the mandoline? PERFECT!!!
the cheese was grated lickety-split and added to the pesto...along with a bit more olive oil. *when you prepare pesto for freezing you don't added the cheese. the pesto is brushed over the hot pizza when it is removed from the oven.
dinner is served!
dessert?
vanilla cupcakes & strawberries.
