Ingredients

1 pre-cooked pinsa
3 teaspoons green pesto sauce (+/-)

4 slices mortadella
4 fresh basil leaves (+/-)
8 mini mozzarella balls (+/-)
1 handful pistachios (chopped)

Preparation

Preparation5 min

Cook time5 min

Bake the pre-cooked pinsa dough in the oven for 5 minutes at 430°F/220°C (these instructions may vary, so be sure to check the packet; the oven must be preheated).
Spread pesto sauce over the entire surface of the pinsa, avoiding the edges.
Then add a few arugula leaves.
Place the mortadella slices on top. Here, I've shaped them into a flower and cut one of the slices in 2 to form 2 small flowers.
Then add mozzarella balls between the mortadella slices.
Drizzle olive oil over the pinsa, add a little pepper and place basil leaves between the garnishes.
Finish with a sprinkling of chopped pistachios and voilà, the pinsa is ready to be shared by two or more for an aperitif!

FAQ ❓

Where does pinsa come from?

Pinsa is an Italian speciality from Rome, distinguished by its light, crispy dough.

Can I replace mortadella with another ingredient?

Yes, you can use ham, salami or even vegetarian alternatives (vegetable "ham", grilled vegetables, etc.).

Can green pesto be substituted?

Yes, you can replace it with pistachio pesto. Find our delicious recipe here. You can add the pesto before or after baking the pinsa.

How do I store pinsa after baking?

It's best to eat it immediately.

Can I prepare the pinsa in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the ingredients in advance and assemble the pinsa just after baking, to create a contrast between the hot dough and the cold filling.

What other fillings go well with pinsa?

I've also made a pinsa with a tomato base, and you can find the recipe here!
