Pizza
OK, I will admit that we usually do delivery for pizza. But for something a
little better than most delivery, homemade pizza really isn't that difficult.
And if you don't live near Arlington's The Italian Store, a nearly perfect pizza,
sometimes you get better results making your own.
Ingredients:
- Basic spaghetti sauce
- Pizza crusts
- 2-4 cups Mozzarella cheese or Italian blend
- Garlic and/or italian season to taste
- Toppings (your preference)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Buy Boboli Pizza shell (available at most markets in original and thin crusts;
sure, you could make dough from scratch but the Boboli shells are great so why
bother unless you want to show off?) I usually buy two as Dave and I have different
favorite toppings.
- Make my basic spaghetti sauce, doubling the recipe
if making two pizzas.
- Spread sauce evenly on crust(s)
- Spread about 1 and a half cups of cheese over the sauce.
- Garnish with a little garlic or Italian season (optional)
- Add toppings. Do you really need me to tell you your favorite toppings? Didn't
think so...
- Sprinkle a little more cheese on top the toppings, up to a half cup or so.
Don't completely cover.
- Bake at 425 for 20 to 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and just starting
to brown.
