Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza

Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza is a rapid dinner when in a rush. The pizza dough is shop brought and the passata mix takes a minute to create. Who doesn’t like melted cheddar and mozzarella and a spicy tomato sauce? All together in the oven and hey presto a pizza dinner that’s healthier and quicker than a takeaway. Serve as a main dish with a dip for a quick meal. I heat the tray in the grill before assembling so the base of the dough gets a head start cooking and doesn’t go all soggy.
