Who says you need tomato sauce to make a pizza? Throw some pesto, mozzarella and parmesan on some dough, and voila! You've got yourself a delicious pesto pizza to share among friends.
Preheat oven to 500°F for at least 1 hour before baking. If using a pizza peel, allow the peel to heat up in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking on it.
Stretch out your dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour. If you don’t have a peel, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a layer of the Colavita Pesto on top of the dough.
Place the torn pieces of mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto.
Sprinkle half the grated Parmesan over the mozzarella cheese.
Drizzle with 1 tbsp Colavita olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Slide your pizza from the peel onto the stone in the oven (or place the baking sheet in oven) and bake for 8-10 minutes (individual ovens will vary, so keep an eye on your pie!), until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and slide onto a cutting board.
Garnish with fresh basil, slice and serve.
