Pesto Pizza: No Oven Required

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of focaccia bread (If not available use soft italian bread or ciabatta cut in half)
• 1 cup of fresh ricotta cheese
• 1/2 pound prosciutto torn into pieces
• Chop Happy Basil and Almond Pesto (or your favorite jar of pesto)
• 10-15 basil leaves
• 1 big pinch red pepper flakes
• Lemon zest from 1 lemon
• Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling on top of the pizza
• 1/4 cup of parm cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

• Gather your family and friends and start to slather on the garlic pesto yumminess all over the top of the focaccia. Wow doesn’t it look pretty already!
• Now drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese all over the pesto, like balls of silky cheesy love.
• Let’s party Italian meat style and drop prosciutto all over the pizza in chunks so easier to eat. Next let it rain basil for a fresh bite of sweet green goodness.
• From high in the sky sprinkle the lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and the parm cheese evenly over the pizza.
• Now the grand final yumminess ingredient, extra fruity topping of a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil all over the pizza.
• As always, and especially with the ones you love, a dash of crazy fun gratitude is the best ingredient.
