Half Mushroom and Pesto and Half Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza


Not bad for a homemade pizza in a standard oven! Actually I was totally obsessed with this pizza - it was incredible. Maybe it was the fact that it was a Friday night and I had just had a really relaxing massage, was drinking really good red wine, and watching a movie...but I had an absolutely fantastic evening staying in.

We wanted to make something at home but didn't necessarily want to "make" anything - so I thought "how about a pizza!" easy enough.

1. Store bought dough from Whole Foods, rolled thin with cornmeal on the bottom
2. Pre-bake crust for ~5-7 minutes at 500 degrees (yes, as high as that puppy can go)
3. 1/2 Topped with store bought (yes, gasp! not homemade) but SUPER high quality ($$) marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, prosciutto and arugula
4. 1/2 Homemade Pesto (we had previously made this) with sauteed mixed mushrooms (with a little thyme, salt and pepper) and cherry tomatoes with fresh mozzarella cheese
5. Return to oven at 500 degrees and cook until crust is browned slightly and cheese is bubbly.
6. Demolish the whole pizza despite attempts not to.
