Claire’s Vegetarian Pesto Pizza

There’s no topping this pizza. Quick, simple and delicious – you will eschew takeaway pizzas forever after. You will need about half a cup of pesto dip which you can either make yourself or buy at the supermarket. So,  grab a pre –  made pizza  base from the supermarket and away you go.

Ingredients:

1 ready made pizza base

1 small tub of good quality basil  pesto dip

4 mushrooms, sliced

1 zucchini, grated

1 cup baby spinach leaves

1 small carrot, grated

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 small salad onion, sliced thinly

Handful black olives, pitted

250 grams feta cheese, grated

Six or seven drops of Tabasco sauce

How:

• Preheat oven to 240 degrees Celsius
• Place pre-made pizza base on a tray and spread pizza base evenly with pesto dip.
• Spread a few drops tabasco in different places over the pesto layer
• Place the remaining ingredients on top in whatever order you wish
• You may like to sprinkle the feta cheese on last as it looks attractive when baked.
• Place pizza in oven, turn heat down to 230 degrees Celsius and cook for approximately 20 minutes – possibly 25 minutes
• You may want to check pizza every now and then because, at this heat, things  burn swiftly
• When cooked (everything will have a golden glow) remove from oven, cut into pieces and scoff with joyful abandon.
