Directions

1. Step
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. Step
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch diameter. If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled out dough onto a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
3. Step
Spread the pesto evenly over the dough leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the pesto. Arrange tomato slices over the cheese.
4. Step
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone, or if you don't have a pizza stone, transfer the pizza to a pizza pan or baking sheet.
5. Step
Bake for about 12-15 minutes until the crust is browned and the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.
6. Step
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Add fresh basil leaves if desired. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

Pizza Dough Gnocchi
We got the idea for these impromptu gnocchi from our Home Cooking community discussion board. All you need is half a pound of pizza dough, a pot of boiling salted water, and a sauce (marinara is perfect). Enlist your kids to help with the shaping, then let them watch you poaching the dough and tossing it in the sauce. What to buy: Premade pizza dough is available bagged in 14- or 16-ounce portions at well-stocked groceries.

Summer Squash Pizza
You hear pizza, you think cheese that flows like roof tar; pepperoni slices cupping in the oven, filling with grease; and a crust so overladen with toppings it droops like sorrow when you try to lift a slice. It is both elegant and summery, full of flavor from good-quality cheeses and produce—so flavorful, in fact, that you won’t even notice it’s vegetarian.
