By now most of you must be sick and tired of the cold, cloudy days. Here in Las Vegas, it’s sunny as usual! So, I wanted to share some freshness and brightness into your world. This pizza combines the salty and savory flavors of prosciutto cotto and fontina, with a bright flavor explosion from the freshness of pea greens. They play so well together, and I think that you will really love this flavor combination.
This recipe will make two 10-inch pizzas. Enjoy!
