Ricotta Pesto Pizza with Chicken, Veg, and Sliced Leftover Sausage

I had a container of ricotta left from the batch I made the other day. I had a couple of leftover leek sausages. I had the idea to make a pizza using ricotta mixed with red pesto in place of the sauce, and topping it with some other stuff. Today, I gave it a try. Success! We both loved it!

I mixed the ricotta with some red pesto

and spread it on my usual pizza crust, made in the bread maker using oats and strong wholemeal flour

I sauteed 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in some olive oil with a chopped onion and a chopped yellow bell pepper, sprinkling some Italian season in when it was just about cooked through. I spread this on the crust and sliced the 2 sausages, putting them evenly over the top.

I put cheese over the top and stuck it in the oven, where I already had some carrot, potato, onion, and garlic, tossed with olive oil and sprinkled with Italian seasoning cooking away.

 As I always try to do, I made enough so that we had enough for supper tonight with enough left for supper tomorrow night.

I hope it's a good day where you are!
