Pizza Margherita

I am constantly trying out new recipes, even some that are too complicated for my limited culinary skills. However, most days we eat simple meals that are quick and easy. Like a lot of you out there, I don’t always have time to spend  hours in the kitchen to make a great meal.  We don’t eat a lot of processed food but sometimes I need some help from those little boxes.

A weekend lunch might consist of pizza and salad. A favorite of ours is the refrigerated pizza dough from Whole Foods Market. We toss the dough, add tomato sauce (this time I used  leftover spaghetti sauce), add fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and slices of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkled with red pepper flakes and parmigiano reggiano cheese,  I have just made a gourmet pizza in my own kitchen. A bag of salad greens with good quality store-bought dressing completes the meal.
