 Margherita Pizza

(NOTE: This is the most popular pizza topping in Italy. Rumor has it
that the colors, tomato red, mozzarella
white, and basil green represent the Italian flag.)

-Pizza dough: store-bought or home-made. Enough for 2 (12-inch) pizzas.

Topping: NOTE--Topping is enough for 2 (12-inch) pizzas:

-1-1/2 cups canned San Marzano plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
-2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
-8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
-Salt to taste
-2 Tbs freshly grated parmesan cheese
-14 fresh basil leaves

1) Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
2) Spread the chopped tomatoes evenly on the rolled out pizza dough.
Sprinkle with a little salt.  Drizzle with olive oil.
3) Slide the dough into the oven and bake 10 minutes.
4) Remove the pizza from the oven and top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
5) Return to the oven and bake 5 minutes.
6) Remove, drizzle with a little more olive oil and spread basil on top.
