Prosciutto Pesto Pizza

Submitted by L-Burden

"This is an original recipe that combines many of my favorite flavors. The saltiness from the proscuitto and pesto combined with the sweet sundried tomatoes is a little party in your mouth with each bite. Hubby asks for this once a week...and it never gets old. Leftovers are great too...if you have any!"

Wonderful recipe, I didnt have any ricotta (yes, I will pick some up for the next time i make this) but used a bit more pesto and Parmigiano-Reggiano than called for plus I also added a few pieces of artichoke hearts. It was excellent and was quickly scribed into my favourite recipes book.
