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.

~Easy Pesto~
2 cups firmly packed fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts (walnuts taste great too)
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
(I also add salt and pepper to taste)
Mix all ingredients in a food processor till smooth.
