White pizza is a pizza without tomato sauce, my favourite originates just around the corner in the Italian Riviera: Pizza with Stracchino and Pesto #yourguardianchef #pizzarecipes #pizza #italianrecipes

Provided by Laura Tobin

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cup Caputo flour 00 (if you can find Manitoba, Type 55, All purpose, Plain, Type 0)
1 cup fresh water
1 tsp salt
1 package yeast (2 tsp)
0.5 tsp caster sugar (to activate the yeast)
1 cup stracchino
2 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
1 tbsp pecorino cheese
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp pine nuts
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Pour the ingredients into the machine and set the program for fresh dough, number 13 on the Kenwood. NB: when using the bread machine the ingredients should be placed in the exact order as listed above, liquids first.
  • For best result, let the dough rest in the fridge overnight, well floured and wrapped in a plastic bag, otherwise, it will crawl all over the fridge.
  • Add all the ingredients for the pesto in a blender.
  • The pesto should be mixed gradually with pulsing movements. If mixed continuously the heat created by the blades will oxidize the basil turning the pesto into a dark colour.
  • Once the dough is ready, cut it into 4 equal sizes and lay them down on a well-floured baking sheet.
  • When the dough is rolled flat, it needs to rest for at least 10 minutes before it rises. In the meantime, put the pizza stone in the cold oven and set the oven at 430 F - 220 C.
  • Once the oven reaches the temperature of 430 F -220C, take the pizza stone out of the oven and lay the dough on top.
  • Top it with the stracchino cheese
  • Drizzle with the pesto
  • Cook it in the hot oven for 10 minutes

SPINACH-PESTO WHITE PIZZA



Spinach-Pesto White Pizza image

When my kids were really small, they were reluctant to eat their veggies and I had to get creative. I figured that because pesto is already green, it would be the perfect place for some spinach. The pizza was a big hit. -Janet Burbach, North Platte, Nebraska

WHITE BEAN PRIMAVERA



White Bean Primavera image

Pasta primavera, the creamy, vegetable-heavy pasta dish popularized in the 1980s at Le Cirque, in New York, is a little too fussy for a busy weeknight, but this reimagined white bean version comes together in less than a half-hour. The simple beans and vegetables feel fancy in their robe of cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and mustard. The dish is best with fresh spring vegetables, and it's also very flexible: Substitute spinach for the peas, a handful of halved cherry tomatoes for the carrot, and sugar snap peas for the asparagus. Drained jarred artichoke hearts wouldn't be out of place, either.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium to large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into ½-inch thick semicircles
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
8 ounces asparagus (about ½ large bunch) or green beans, or a mix, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 carrot, peeled, then shaved into strips with a peeler
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen peas (no need to thaw)
2 scallions, green and white parts, sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Black pepper
3 (15-ounce) cans butter beans or cannellini beans, drained
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 large lemon), plus more to taste
2 ounces grated Parmesan (about ½ cup), plus more for serving
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts
Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir, then cook undisturbed in an even layer until one side is golden, about 4 minutes. (It's great if the butter browns, but decrease the heat if it threatens to get too dark.) Stir in the asparagus, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas, scallions and ½ teaspoon salt, then add the red-pepper flakes, oregano and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peas are warmed through and bright green, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the white beans and the cream, lower the heat to medium, and let the cream come to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan and Dijon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water to the creamy beans to loosen as you like; the sauce will thicken as it cools. (You may need more water when you reheat any leftovers.) Serve in bowls topped with the nuts and a handful of basil leaves. Pass more Parmesan at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: When adding toppings, be sure to leave some space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown: The pizza is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to prevent the toppings from falling off.
  • Enjoy! White pizza with shaved vegetables and pesto is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Conclusion:

White pizza with shaved vegetables and pesto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this white pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
