Fancy Pizza

I LOVE that I moved to Chicago and Indy is getting snow before the Windy City! If you don't know me very well, I absolutely loathe snow. I totaled my car in a ditch in high school on a two hour delay and every since, I have been a nervous wreck when it snows. I am content with the 60mph gusts in Chicago.

I wanted to make a quick meal tonight with minimal dishes. I bought a pre-made whole-wheat pizza crust at Whole Foods. I didn't want to do the traditional tomato sauce base with toppings. I used Toffuti as the creamy base for the pizza.

Pizza Sauce:

Toffuti: spread a layer onto the pizza

Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar and stir together

Toppings:

4 cloves of garlic

1 roma tomato

marinated artichokes

half of an orange pepper

arugula 

fresh pepper

I baked the pizza at 425 for ten minutes. I served with a small salad and a glass of Merlot. John liked the creaminess of the sauce. If you are using a thin crust, the pizza can get weighed down and/or soggy while cooking. I tend to hide any leafy greens under the toppings so they don't get crispy while baking.

This was a super quick meal with minimal dishes...yeah! Also, Butler won tonight! Go Dawgs!

Happy Cooking!
