GREEEEEEN PIZZA

So I got this recipe from delish.com and am a HUGE fan! I was a little skeptical at first because it was wheat dough, spinach, broccoli, and low-fat mozzarella cheese, but it really isn't as bad as it sounds. The wheat dough actually tastes pretty good and you don't even notice the lowfat cheese. However, I think the star of this dish is the pesto. The recipe called for store-bought pesto, but I made it myself! Warning, making your own pesto can be quite pricey. Basil: $2.99; Parmesan cheese: $5.49; Garlic: $0.50; Pine nuts: $3.99. But this one is excellent, so if you have some of the ingredients already, it might be worth it. So, the ingredients for the pizza is pretty simple; buy store bought wheat dough, roll it out with some flour, then put pesto, mozzarella cheese, cooked spinach, and cooked broccoli, then put it in the oven for the time it says on the package of the dough.

Here is the recipe for the pesto though:

Ingredients:
2 cups packed basil
1/3 cup pine nuts
6 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. BLEND!

Pretty difficult eh? This serving was enough to cover the pizza AND to make a bunch of pesto pasta the next day. Now, beware, if you taste the pesto right after you blend it, it's probably going to taste pretty spicy because of the garlic. But once you heat it up and cook it, it tastes much better because the garlic cooks a little bit. Next? cilantro jalapeno sauce for either chicken or fish, I haven't decided. yumm!!
