Yummy Pizza recipe for the whole family. If you can get the children to help you prepare and eat this, this dish includes all nutrients kids need (protein, starch, fibres). Brilliant!
Cooking Time: 15 – 30 mins
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
6-8 asparagus spears (snap off the woody ends)
145g pack pizza base mix
plain flour, for rolling out
3 tbsp Sacla’ Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto or Sacla’ Fresh Fiery Chilli Pesto or Sacla’ Italian Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp mascarpone
2 slices Parma ham, snipped into 4
A good handful of finely grated Parmesan
Zest of ½ lemon
extra virgin olive oil
few small basil leaves, to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Lightly oil the asparagus spears, and roast them in a hot oven for about 4 minutes (so they’re still slightly firm).
Make the pizza base according to the pack instructions and roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to shape two rectangular pizza bases.
Transfer the bases onto a baking tray and spread with your favourite Sacla’ pesto or Sacla’ Italian Tomato Sauce, taking it to within 1cm of the edges. Dot with the mascarpone and arrange the asparagus and parma ham on top. Finally scatter over the Parmesan and season well.
Bake the pizzas on the middle shelf of the oven for about 7 minutes until the base is crisp and golden, and the mascarpone has melted and the Parma ham has crisped up.
When they’re cooked, simply scatter over the lemon zest and basil leaves and drizzle over some olive oil. Buonissimo!
Looks absolutely delicious! I think we will try something similar for lunch as we have most of the ingredients and I’m feeling too lazy to cook after having spent most of Christmas holed up in the kitchen!
Bless you Lorraine! Simplicity is key in the kitchen. Have a lovely meal!
