Very delicious!! I needed to use up some ricotta cheese plus I had homemade pesto. I bought pizza dough and blind baked it for 5 minutes. Once the pizza was put together I baked it for 5-7 minutes more. This pizza was easy to put together and very tasty. This is a keeper!!

My husband and I love this pizza! After the first try, it became a quick staple item on the menu. To shorten things up a bit, I use store bought pesto(not the instant stuff from a pouch...the real deal). And, for a little more flavor I add spinach and asparagus to my side and ground sausage to my husbands. We rarely have any left over.
