Sunday night is pizza night. Enjoy this better-than-takeaway version, filled with healthy gourmet toppings.

1 bunch broccolini
1/2 bunch silverbeet, finely shredded
1 garlic clove, crushed
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (65g) pesto
2 round pizza bases
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan
250g fresh mozzarella or bocconcini, roughly torn
2 bacon rashers, cut into large pieces

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Thinly slice the stalks of the broccolini and set aside. Blanch the broccolini tops in boiling, salted water for 1-2 minutes until just tender, adding the silverbeet for the final 10 seconds. Drain and refresh under cold water.
3.

Combine garlic, lemon zest and oil in a bowl, then toss with drained broccolini tops and silverbeet. Season and set aside.
4.

Spread the pesto over the pizza bases and scatter with the parmesan and sliced broccolini stalks. Divide the mozzarella, bacon and greens between the pizza bases. Bake for 12-14 minutes until crust is golden and crisp, and cheese has melted. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
