Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza


I had this pizza last summer when I was in Chicago for my cousins wedding and ever since then I have been wanting to make it! I came up with this recipe on my own and I must say it's pretty close to what I remember, minus the cute little italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Chicago!

Ingredients

1 Whole Wheat Organic Pizza Dough
16 (or so) thin slices prosciutto, cut into strips
2 to 3 tablespoons of coarsely chopped walnuts
2 cups of shredded cheese (I used a 5 cheese blend of  mozzarella, provolone, romano, asiago and parmesan cheeses)
1 cup arugula
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, each cut into eighths

Directions

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
2.Arrange prosciutto evenly over dough, sprinkle walnuts over the prosciutto.
3. Cute each cherry tomatoes into eighths. Add to dough.
4.Combine cheeses and sprinkle over prosciutto, walnuts and tomatoes.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. 
6. Top with arugula and bake for an additional 2 minutes.

  1. I love the set up of the little Italian restaurant in Chicago -- stacks and stacks of plates on each table :)
