ITALIAN PIZZA TOPPING

Posted by Carole-Anne on January 30, 2008

Pizza is such a favorite with almost everyone. Pizza is very nutritious when the right foods are used. This is going to be an Italian Pizza, so we get to put all kinds of cheese and sausage on it. Try to pick out the leanest sausages for your pizza as the cheese really spikes the calories and fat up.

Pizza Sauce (Recipe under Main Categories - Pizza)

1 cup Provolone cheese grated

1 cup Asiago cheese grated

2 cups Portabello Mushrooms sliced

2 cups assorted sausages fresh from delicatessen

1 cup thinly sliced beef steak tomatoes

1 cup thinly sliced zucchini

1 tbsp freshly chopped sweet basil

Dashes of freshly ground black pepper

Spread pizza sauce onto pizza crust evenly.

Add sausages, portabello mushrooms and sliced zucchini and tomatoes evenly on pizza crust, sprinkling freshly ground pepper and the sweet basil on top of mixture.

Add shredded Provolone and Asiago cheese evenly on top of vegetables. This pizza looks incredible.

Bake pizza 35 - 40 minutes in a 350F degrees in a low altitude or 450F degrees in high altitude. Pizza is cooked when fork comes out clean when checked.

Remove pizza from oven, using oven mitts; cut pizza into six pieces, with a pizza cutter.

Serve pizza with a beverage of your choice, and a Caesar or green tossed salad.
