Ingredients

  • cherry tomatoes 50 g (sliced)
  • courgette ¼ (sliced)
  • red onion ¼ (sliced)
  • Crosta Mollica tomato pizza base 1
  • mozzarella pearls 80 g (drained)
  • green pesto 3 tbsp

Method

Add the toppings to the pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 190C fan.
  • Slice the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle them with a little salt - this helps to draw out the moisture before you put them on the pizza.
  • Thinly slice the courgette into half moons.
  • Slice the red onion into thin petals, drizzle the onion with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, then massage it with your fingers to help break it down a little before cooking.

Assemble & bake the pizza

  • Top the Crosta Mollica tomato pizza base with the mozzarella pearls, cherry tomatoes, courgette and red onion.
  • Place your pizza directly in the middle shelf of the oven for 8–9 mins, until golden and bubbling.

Plate up

  • Dot the green pesto over the cooked pizza, sprinkle over a little cracked black pepper then slice it up and enjoy!
