Recipe: Pesto pizza

A pizza recipe may, at first, sound boring.  Especially if you expect it to contain pepperoni, bought sauce, and mozzarella.  But we made pizza tonight that far surpassed my expectations, and that's why I wanted to share the recipe.  It's not your momma's pizza.

I started with Boboli pizza crust because I don't have the time to come home after work and make pizza dough.  But after that is where the fun begins.  I had saved a small portion of the home canned tomato sauce from the spaghetti I made earlier this week.  I mixed this (approximately 1/4 cup, maybe less) with a handful of chopped, frozen sweet (Jimmy Nardello) peppers, a cube of arugula pesto and a cube of basil, oregano, garlic and onion pesto.  I spread the mixture on the crust and sprinkled a tiny bit of cooked sausage on top (about 1oz of sausage - it's just for a slight bit of flavor).  See here:

Then I topped it with a combination of shredded sharp cheddar and asiago cheeses.

This is the first time I have tried this combination of flavors and I thought it was great.  I'm learning ways to use my different pesto cubes, and as I do I will share the ones that taste great as well as the ones that taste terrible.  This one turned out quite nice I think.
