2. ARUGULA AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium to large unbaked pizza crust
6 tablespoons pesto sauce
3 fresh roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 (8 oz) package seasoned goat cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup fresh arugula
1 teaspoon olive oil
3. DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven according to pizza crust
instructions.
Dab pesto onto the center of the crust and
spread toward the outer edges. Cut goat
cheese into thin coins, and crumble across
the pizza. Arrange tomato slices over goat
cheese. Sprinkle with garlic. Brush the
edges of the crust lightly with the olive oil.
Place your pizza directly on preheated oven
rack. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes but check
frequently and take out when the crust
edges are golden.
After removing pizza from the oven, allow
to cool for a few minutes so that the feta
has time to set, then cover the pizza with a
few handfuls of arugula. Cut generous
slices and serve.
