Pesto Pizza

So I never thought Jordan and I would be 'those' people. The kind of people that grow, make, and eat pesto regularly. However, with my basil plant that is about all you can do. The first time I made basil, I followed THIS recipe. We simply put it on pasta and paired it with some bread sticks. Jordan was worried that two cups of basil wasn't going to make a lot of pesto, it made about 3/4 cup, but.... a little bit of pesto goes a long ways. We had leftovers for a couple of days. It was the perfect amount.

For my second harvest of basil I decided to make pesto pizza. It was AMAZING. I followed THIS recipe, but added my own variations to go with what I had available. The pesto sauce on this pizza was a little bit different. There was added broccoli and it didn't have any nuts. Nuts are expensive, so that was a plus.The changes I made to the recipe were that I added some cooked chopped chicken and I made my own pizza crust. I didn't end up pre-baking my crust, but that is what Jordan complimented the most.



The only changes I will make to this pizza for next time is to add a little more tomato to the top. For my size of pizza one tomato wasn't quite enough. 
OH.... feta cheese is so so fantastic. I already knew this, but I thought it was way to expensive. While it is moderately expensive, after buying it after this time I don't think I will have issues purchasing it again.
