Make these cheesy sausage and pesto pizzas with just a handful of ingredients for an easy, takeaway-style dinner. If you prefer, make these veggie-friendly using our tip below

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 x 220g frozen pizza dough
400g can chopped tomatoes
3 pork sausages
glug of olive oil
6 tbsp fresh pesto , or vegetarian alternative
2 x 125g balls buffalo mozzarella
basil leaves, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove the pizza dough from the freezer 1-2 hrs before cooking to defrost. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put a large baking sheet in the oven to heat.
  • Tip the chopped tomatoes into a saucepan, simmer uncovered for 15 mins until reduced and saucy, then season to taste.
  • Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins and into a bowl. Divide into 10 small balls. Pour the oil into a non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs over a medium heat for 5 mins until golden brown.
  • Roll the dough out into two oval-shaped pizzas about 20cm long. Top with a layer of the tomato sauce, then swirl in the pesto. Tear the mozzarella and scatter that over along with the sausage meatballs. Slide the pizzas onto the hot baking sheet and cook for 18-20 mins or until crisp and charred at the edges. Scatter over a few basil leaves to serve, if you like.

Tips:

  • Using fresh, high-quality ingredients is key to a delicious Margherita pizza. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and good quality mozzarella cheese.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pizza dough, you can use a pre-made dough from the store. However, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.
  • To get a crispy crust, bake the pizza at a high temperature. A pizza stone or baking steel can help achieve a crispy crust.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy.
  • Add the basil leaves after the pizza has been baked. This will help prevent them from wilting.
