Amount Ingredient
Pre-made or homemade pizza shell
Thinly-sliced fresh ripe tomatoes
Pine nuts
Red pepper flakes
----------------- PESTO SAUCE ----------------
6 cup fresh basil leaves
2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 x fresh garlic cloves
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions:
Instructions: For the Pesto Sauce: Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend well together. Refrigerate until needed.

When you are ready to have one of the worlds greatest pizzas, this is how you build it. On top of a pre-made (or homemade) pizza shell, place:

1st - A generous layer of Pesto Sauce
2nd - Thinly sliced fresh ripe tomatoes
3rd - A handful of pine nuts
4th - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Cook it on a hot grill. Bake the pizza lid-down, away from the flames for about 15 minutes. If you have a warming rack, that is the best place to do it. The pizza is ready when the pine nuts have browned and the oil in the pesto is slightly sizzling.

Dont put too much topping on the shell - the idea is to create a balance between the crisp shell and the fragrant toppings. The flavors and textures should work in harmony.

Comments: Here is an absolutely fabulous pizza, and you can do it on the grill! The sauce is a classic pesto, which, of course, makes everything taste good. To be honest, if you feel entirely too lazy to do your own pizza shells you can go with a ready-made brand found in most grocery stores. Make a lot of pesto sauce. You can use it many different ways and it freezes well.
