Margherita Pizza

Cultural Context

Margherita Pizza is a classic Italian dish that originated in Naples. It is named after Queen Margherita of Savoy and is known for its simple yet flavorful combination of fresh ingredients. The colors of the pizza represent the Italian flag: red (tomato), white (mozzarella), and green (basil). This dish is a staple in Italian cuisine and is enjoyed worldwide, often served in pizzerias and homes alike.

fresh mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella has fewer calories, while shredded mozzarella is often more affordable.

1

Use a store-bought pizza shell, not fresh raw dough.

2

Hand crush salmon tomatoes for the sauce.

3

Add a little bit of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to the crushed tomatoes.

4

Spread the hand-crushed tomato mixture onto the pizza shell, avoiding making it too saucy to prevent sogginess.

5

Place fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, being careful not to add too much to avoid excess moisture.

6

Preheat the grill and place the assembled pizza on it.

7

After 5 minutes, rotate the pizza for even cooking.

8

Check the pizza after 10 minutes; the cheese should be melting and the sauce bubbling.

9

After a total of 12 minutes, remove the pizza from the grill.

10

Add fresh basil on top of the pizza as a finishing touch.
