When I asked my son what was his favourite food, his immediate answer was "mums homemade pizza". In fact, this was the meal that I most often used to "throw together" whenever my children had friends unexpectedly join us for a meal.
Whilst Elizabeth David was probably the one to popularise Italian cooking in the mid-1950's, the person who really inspired me to try it for myself was Antonio Carluccio who wrote with real passion about the food of his homeland.
Here's a simple pizza recipe that everyone will love - though few may associate it with the versions that you find in the freezer cabinet at the supermarket.
Traditional Italian Pizza (Neopolitan style)
Ingredients
Putting this pizza together takes around 20-25 minutes, including preparing the topping.
If you love cheese or pepperoni you can add them on top, but it really isn't necessary, the flavours in this are lovely and fresh all on their own.
This is a great storecupboard recipe that can be quickly prepared with a minimum of ingredients - great whenever you have unexpected guest join you for a meal.
