2. Rhonda's Basil Pesto Pizza

We recommend using our recipe for fresh, homemade basil pesto made with vegetarian cheese. Place the pizza crust on a pan with a light coating of extra virgin olive oil. Top the pizza with pesto, more vegetarian cheese and your preferred veggies. After baking, slice into quarters and distribute - each quarter slice is one serving.
