Bolognese Pizza

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• Pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 1 cup Bolognese sauce
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. If making your own dough, follow your preferred recipe and preheat a pizza stone in the oven for at least 15 minutes.
3. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel. Spread the Bolognese sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use leftover Bolognese sauce that has been simmered for a longer time.
• If you don’t have Bolognese sauce on hand, you can use a store-bought marinara sauce or another type of hearty sauce.
• Get creative with your toppings! Add other ingredients to your pizza, such as chopped vegetables, sliced pepperoni, or crumbled Italian sausage.
• Leftover Bolognese Pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven until warmed through.

Suggested Pairings

• Beer: A light and refreshing lager or pilsner will complement the rich flavors of the Bolognese pizza without overpowering them.
• Wine: A full-bodied red wine, such as a Chianti or Barbera, will stand up to the savory flavors of the pizza.
• Salad: A simple green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette is a great way to lighten up the meal.

I hope you enjoy this delicious and easy Bolognese Pizza recipe!
