Quick Pizza

Friday, May 17th, 2013

This is such an easy pizza to prepare.  It is quick if you use ready-made dough, or a little slower if you make your own.  We are always in a hurry so the quick way is the best sometimes for the Formato household.

Quick Pizza

 

Pastorelli Pizza Sauce

Pastorelli Pizza Sauce

Use olive oil spray or canola oil spray & spray a 10″ x 15″ rectangular pan.

Prepare pizza dough (I love to use a Pillsbury thin crust dough in a can).  This means to spread it out to fit the pan, you shouldn’t have to go up the sides w/ the dough.  It should fit nicely in this size baking pan.

Pour pizza sauce over it (here’s where you use the Pastorelli brand, which by the way, is delicious). 1 can can be used for 2 pizzas.

Sprinkle w/ shredded mozzarella cheese.

Add little balls of sausage (make it easy on yourself, remove casing from Italian sausage & form round pieces;  we like Johnsonville Italian sausage which comes in Mild or Hot).

Chop up some green peppers & sprinkle on top.

Bake for about 10 minutes or according to the package directions.  Cut into little squares & serve.

You can add more cheese before baking.

You can freeze & then add cheese before baking.

Usually there’s not much left every time this is served.

Hope you enjoy this!

Cut thin slices of mozzarella cheese and place them randomly on the crust.
Sprinkle pieces of Goat cheese on ¼ of pizza.
Sprinkle Blue cheese on ¼ of pizza.
Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese and on ¼ of the pizza.
Spread 1/2 cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza.
Add a little salt and pepper and then a quick drizzle of the garlic infused olive oil.

Bake in oven at 400 degrees foe 12 minute or until you see that the crust is brown.

A delicious alternative to a tomato based pizza.
