Dinner!This is an easy pizza to make. And the left over pesto go great on pasta, sandwiches and even quesadillas. Start with a whole wheat pizza crust. I use the Trader Joes brand. (Makes good bread sticks to0.) Then follow a simple recipe for pesto. Top with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and onions. Bake according to pizza dough directions. Serve with a simple side salad.
