Ingredients

  • Basil Pesto:
  • A generous 1 ½ cups of fresh basil leaves, tightly packed
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Approximately 1/4 cup of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, or more if desired
  • 1/4 cup of finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • A sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors
  • Pizzas:
  • Divided into 2 teaspoons of premium extra virgin olive oil
  • Sliced 5 flavorful cremini mushrooms
  • A touch of aromatic dried rosemary, about 1/2 tablespoon
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
  • 2-pack of naan bread, totaling 8.8 ounces
  • Creamy ricotta cheese, around 2/3 cup
  • Crumbled feta cheese, approximately 1/3 cup
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese for garnishing, adjust to your taste

Step 1

In a blender, combine fragrant basil leaves, savory Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, crunchy walnuts, pungent garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Blend the ingredients into a luscious pesto, adjusting the consistency to your liking, taking about 5 to 8 minutes. For a smoother pesto, gradually incorporate an additional tablespoon of olive oil. Once ready, set the vibrant pesto aside.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, warm a touch of olive oil. Toss in earthy mushrooms, aromatic rosemary, a sprinkle of salt, and a hint of pepper. Sauté the mixture until the mushrooms are tender, which should take around 5 minutes. Set this savory blend aside.

Step 3

Using another skillet over medium heat, drizzle a hint of olive oil. Place a piece of naan bread in the skillet and cook until it turns crispy, typically 2 minutes per side. Once done, generously spread the golden naan with the prepared pesto. Top the pesto with creamy ricotta cheese, tangy feta cheese, and the sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle the creation with additional Parmesan cheese. Cook until the cheese is gooey and fully melted. Follow the same process with the second naan and the remaining ingredients for a delightful and flavorful meal.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your fridge - make sure to clear out any expired items and create designated spaces for each ingredient.
  2. 2. Keep your cheeses fresh by wrapping them in wax paper or parchment paper before storing them in the fridge. This will prevent them from drying out and losing their flavor.
