A great alternative to the classics. This thermomix basil pesto pizza is an amazingly delicious and simple recipe. Using my Easy No Rise Pizza Dough recipe makes dinner simple and easy! This basil pesto is a slightly different recipe and I have to say it's wonderfully delicious! You can use your classic basil pesto or if you are feeling adventurous try this cashew inspired recipe.
Like with most pizzas - well at least in our house - we have alot of "whatever is in the fridge pizzas" and this basil pesto has been a nice base or as a quick dinner we have just had the basil pesto and cheese. A nice white wine has always accompanied this pizza though! Just saying! :)
