When the March issue of Cooking Light came out, two different pizza recipes caught my eye. I decided to make them at home and figured if they were really good, I would share them on the blog. The first recipe is this delicious Tomato Ricotta Pizza.
I’m a sucker for roasted tomatoes, so this one was kind of a no-brainer for me. The cheese mixture that separates the tomatoes from the dough is to die for. And Mike, who tends to pick tomatoes out of everything, finished the last few pieces that were left.
My favorite part is that both recipes are perfect for spring and summer; not too heavy, but flavorful and filling. Big kudos to Cooking Light for this awesome recipe.
