Red Pesto, Pine Nuts and Courgette Ribbon Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 gluten free pizza base

For your red pesto base

  • 100 g sundried tomatoes
  • 2 roasted red peppers (the best ones for this are the ones you buy in a jar)
  • handful fresh basil leaves
  • 20 g pine nuts
  • 15 g parmesan
  • 40 ml garlic-infused olive oil
  • salt and pepper

For your topping

  • 1 courgette
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • handful pine nuts
  • goat's cheese (grated)
  • mozzarella (grated)
