Pesto Primavera Pizza
This pesto primavera pizza is a rustic & satisfying weeknight dinner option!
A few years ago, I made the Primavera Pasta on the blog. Unsurprisingly, I fell in love with it, for this dish heroed simple, humble, seasonal vegetables and didn’t rely on any over-the-top sauces to derive its flavor from. And so, when I had some pizza dough, fresh pesto and vegetables in my fridge, I decided to bake a quick pizza. I didn’t even both rolling these out neatly, and yet I love the end product!
This is the kind of food I make when I’m pressed for time but want to eat something fresh and delicious. I usually always have a ball of pizza dough in my freezer for whipping up quick meals, if required. And if you don’t have it or you don’t want to make the dough from scratch, you can always use pre-cooked, store-bought pizza base. And if that’s not an option, improvise! Make this on a slice of bread. Really, you don’t need a strict recipe to use up your pantry sauces and vegetables now, do you?
