Pizza Pesto Verde Recipe

Ingredients:


* 1 (12- or 14-inch size) pizza crust

* 2 cups mozzarella, shredded

* 1 cup feta, crumbled

* 1 cup prepared pesto sauce

* 1 cup spinach, chopped

* 1 cup canned tomatoes, diced and drained




Directions:


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Spread pesto sauce on partially baked crust and top with chopped spinach.

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over sauce, then top with tomatoes and feta.

Bake about 15 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and the crust is crisp and golden.

Chicken Pesto: For a heartier version, replace the spinach with 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or

cubed). Continue with cheeses and tomatoes.

Chicken Mushroom Pesto: Mushrooms make it even heartier. Replace the spinach with 1 cup

cooked chicken (shredded or cubed) and 1 cup canned mushrooms (sliced and drained). Continue

with cheeses and tomatoes.
