Vegetarian special 14" Pizza $4.87
We started thinking about the virtues of home cooking, fresh ingredients, cooking together, leftovers, friendly surroundings and then it occurred to us, by staying at home you save money to. How much you wonder? Well, at $15.20 plus tip which comes to $18 from the local pizza franchise we saved a healthy $13 with our home made vegetarian special.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh pizza dough (from the bakery section of most supermarkets)
1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
1 small sweet onion, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
1/3 red pepper, sliced
4 ounces portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 Cup fresh spinach, torn
1/3 Cup green olives, sliced
2 Tbls good olive oil
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1 soy Italian sausage, sliced
4 ounces mozzarella
2 ounces jack cheese
1/4 Cup grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp each dried oregano, thyme, basil
(total cost of ingredients $4.87 based on average market cost)
Preparation
Bring olive oil to medium heat in a small sauce pan, add the onion garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are soft. Add tomato sauce, seasoning and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat stirring occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a pizza baking pan and spread the dough to the edges. Coat with prepared sauce. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 1/2 hour or until cheese bubbles.
Slide the hot pizza unto a 'green cutting board' and cut into 8 pieces.
