Pizza Margherita
"Pizzas are virtually a staple food now and can be tasty, nutritious, and versatile – especially if made at home. This is the classic Margherita with a simple cheese and tomato sauce topping. It’s lovely with a handful of wild rocket strewn over just before serving or before baking, add any extra toppings you like, such as anchovies, olives, ham, mushrooms, or roasted vegetables...."
