I've featured
different kinds of pizza on the blog several times, but I've never tried a basic margherita. The recipe I tried is a variation of one I found. It includes a nice kick with the addition of the red pepper. And it's super quick and easy, which is always nice. You could also probably use this recipe to cheat a really simple pasta sauce! Here's what you'll need:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Dozen or so cherry tomatoes, stemmed (do not cut!)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 4 oz. ball fresh mozzarella in water (ovoline), coarsely diced
- 4 ounces shredded whole-milk mozzarella
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 6" whole wheat pita breads (or you can make the pizza crust from scratch if you wanna be all fancy)
