It's been about 3 weeks since we last had a Friday pizza night. One Friday we celebrated my sister's birthday, another my dad's, and another was dinner out with friends. There was a weekend in there when we ordered pizza to go, but it's been a while since I last cooked on a Friday night.
Last night was special too. It was KU's first game of the NCAA tournament. Since the game started late…tip off at 9:06 or something like that…..we ate dinner later than usual. And because it's still Lent, I made a meatless pizza, a Margherita to be exact. I took the easy way out again with the crust and made a yummy appetizer of fried raviolis, which I'll share next week.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
MARGHERITA PIZZA
INGREDIENTS:
Pizza crust (I used a Boboli crust)
Pizza sauce
2 roma tomatoes, sliced thin
Fresh basil, shredded or roughly chopped
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Shredded parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Garlic salt
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven according to crust packaging.
Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil and sprinkle garlic salt on top. Careful not to sprinkle too much!
Pour pizza sauce over the center of the crust and spread to cover…leaving about an inch or half an inch around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
Place sliced tomato over the cheese.
Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
Place in oven for 8-10 minutes or according to crust packaging.
Once pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle fresh basil over the top.
Enjoy!
pups & kisses,

Have you tried the pre-made crust from TJ's? I wanted to buy some when we were in but didn't know how it would last on the ride home.
ReplyDeleteWe also have pizza Friday once a month. Some other Fridays, we have sandwiches or grilled-anything. =D As a matter of fact, even if it isn’t Friday, we would still have pizzas for dinner, especially during game nights. We will try your pizza recipe for sure because it’s so simple to make. Thanks for sharing!
