Bell Pepper Pizza and Aloo Pizza

When we went to Italy, apart from their awesome pasta, the one thing I loved were their pizzas. A big, thick slice wrapped in a bag to go and you were all set for several hours. What made their pizza really tasty was undoubtedly their sauce. Now you can make this pizza easily in a matter of minutes by using store bought Marinara Sauce. But you can also make authentic Italian sauce using the recipe I've posted here!

One other thing I liked that was unique was their potato topping. I tried it at home and loved it. So here goes. I also ate Bell Pepper pizza in the Amalfi Coast and the method is the same for any topping. The vegetables (or any meat topping too) are always cooked before they go on the pizza and it's a little more work, but tastes amazing!

Ingredients

- 1 cup Marinara Sauce
- 1 Pizza base
- 1 big Potato, finely chopped (Or yellow, red and green peppers thinly sliced)
- 1 tbsp crushed red pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, grated
- Salt and Pepper

Method

- Preheat the oven to 425 F
- Spread the chopped potatoes on a aluminum foil covered pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the olive oil to evenly coat all the potatoes. Do the same thing if you are using peppers.
- Bake the potatoes in the oven until they're tender, about 8-10 minutes. (May take longer if you cut your potatoes bigger) (About 6-8 minutes for bell peppers)
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let it cool.
- Mix the crushed red pepper flakes with the Marinara Sauce and spread it evenly on the pizza base.
- Spread the potatoes or the bell peppers evenly on the pizza.
- Cover the entire pizza with the grated Mozzarella Cheese.
- Pop the pizza in the oven and bake it at 425 F until all the cheese melts and starts turning brown at the edges.
- Cut it into equal pieces using a pizza cutter.

Enjoy!
