Pizza topped with arugula pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella

I typically don't care much for arugula in my salad, but I love arugula pesto. It's strong and has a bit of a kick to it. I thought it would go excellently well with pizza, and it was!

Arugula pesto
pizza dough
1 tomato
5 slices of chunky mozzarella cheese

Top the pizza dough with arugula pesto, and place the tomatoes all over. Top with generous slices of mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 F.







Arugula pesto recipe(modified from Martha Schulman's fabulous recipe in the Times)
2 cups fresh arugula
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp walnuts
1/3 cup-1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Drop the garlic in the food processor and finely chop the garlic. Scrape the sides of the food processor, and add the walnuts and grind until the walnuts are finely blended in with the garlic. Finally add the arugula, and drip in the olive oil to form your desired consistency.
