Pesto ricotta pizza is the perfect recipe to try out for pizza day! This Italian-inspired vegetarian pizza combines creamy ricotta cheese and aromatic basil pesto. Unlike traditional tomato sauce-based pizzas, this recipe features a unique ricotta base that's thinned with milk to create a smooth, spreadable layer. The fresh basil pesto adds a vivid colour and herbaceous flavour, while a generous topping of melted mozzarella and Parmesan creates that irresistible cheese pull. Fresh vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and briny black olives add texture and flavour, and make for an aesthetically pleasing pizza.
