Here’s another favorite light and quick pizza.
I love the pungent taste of arugula. A favorite way to feature it is on “Fresh Tomato Pizza with Prosciutto and Arugula”. This pizza Fresco is topped with fresh ripened plum tomatoes or minimally processed canned tomatoes from San Marzano Italy.
Tomatoes are topped with hand shredded prosciutto slices, fresh or shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese. Once cooked crisp, pizza is topped with an ample amount of fresh arugula tossed with lightly salted olive oil.
Pizza is quickly cut and served. The nutty flavor of arugula and its contrast in texture makes this pizza very special. We frequently serve it as a light weekend meal. It’s also great for brunch, and perfect for lady’s luncheons.
For perfectly crusted pizza, refer to “dough basics”. Follow my simple techniques for working with store bought dough, results in terrific pizza.
