BROCCOLI PESTO PIZZA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it according to the directions on the package.
- Finely grate the parmesan, then place 1/3 cup into the bowl of a food processor along with the broccoli, 2/3 cup basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. While the processor is running, drizzle in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Sprinkle a work surface with the cornmeal and use a rolling pin and/or your hands to stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray and place the dough onto it. Spread the broccoli pesto over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Scatter the goat cheese over the top of the pesto, then thinly slice the tomato and arrange the slices on top.
- Bake until the cheese and tomatoes are softened and the crust is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Garnish the pizza with the remaining parmesan, the remaining 1/3 cup basil and the red pepper flakes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and slice the pizza into 8 wedges.

cloud@gmail.comThe broccoli pesto pizza was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.
