garlic scape pesto pizza

The pizza I made for dinner today had a garlic scape, basil, and parsley pesto sauce, the last bag of pesto from the freezer. Good thing it is spring and we can soon be expecting fresh herbs and scapes from the farm. Garlic scapes aren't quite in season yet (at least not in New England) but they will be soon and they make a tasty pesto so if you see them in a farmers market be sure to grab some.

The pesto was complimented by thinly sliced red skin potatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, greek olives, and fresh arugula from my garden. Very tasty!

As always, be sure to pass the hot pepper flakes and nutritional yeast.

Roasted Red Pepper & Taters

About this blog... My husband and I eat homemade vegan pizza at least a couple times a month and decided that it would be nice to keep a log of what we do so we could repeat some of the better combinations (and avoid the less than stellar ones). I haven't decided yet if this will only be a blog of those pizza creations or other vegan culinary adventures. For now, here is today's pizza creation.

Delicious!! A roasted red pepper spread made our pizza even look like a somwhat normal pizza. With K. allergic to tomatoes we can't do the standard pizza sauce. But the roasted red pepper sauce both looked and tasted great on the pizza. We added thinly sliced potatoes, carmelized onions, and, of course, our favorite topping, fresh arugula.
