Presto Pesto Pizza

Are you sick of the same old pizza?  Is your basic pie a little sauce, cheese and pepperoni?  We are eating frozen pizzas 2 times a week because they are so cheap and easy, especially since I've been coming home late from classes.  So instead of throwing another pie in the oven, I decided to make it myself but didn't want it to taste like... well... another pizza!

*This is Kevin's New Favorite Pizza... next to Rusty's Pepperoni Thin Crust.

Presto PESTO PIZZA

Pizza dough (fresh if you can get it... I get ours at Trader Joe's)

Pre-made pesto sauce

Chicken Sausage

Sun-dried Tomatoes

Marinated Artichokes

Yellow Bell Peppers

Mozzarella Cheese

1.  Preheat oven to temp specified on package.  (around 450)

2.  Let dough proof (20 minutes)

3.  While dough is resting, cook chicken sausage links on stove or on BBQ

4.  Prep all ingrediants (grate cheese, cut tomatoes, drain tomatoes and artichokes)

5.  After Sausage is finished cooking, let rest before cutting into angled circles

6.  Stretch dough to desired width and put on a baking sheet.

7. I par-cook the dough for about 5 minutes before I put the ingredients on

8.  Take pizza dough out of oven and add pesto sauce, sausage, tomatoes, artichokes, bell pepper and cheese.

9.  Bake until cheese is bubbling and dough is cooked through.

Take pizza out of oven and let sit for 3-5 minutes.  Cut and serve with a garden salad!

Super Easy!

***Really COOL*** instead of doing a pizza, you could easily do a pasta with all these ingredients!
