PIZZA WITH BROCCOLINI AND SUN DRIED TOMATOES

Hi everyone.  Short week for the blog.  But now I am in the swing of things and the recipes are swirling.  For those of you who are not eating meat during Lent, I have a great Friday night recipe today.  I for one never seem to know what to make.  So I turn to my meatless Pasta dishes or Pizza's.  This recipe is great for a Sunday lunch, a light dinner with a salad or whenever you want a tasty, good for you Pizza.  I make this often for myself, it is so good.

PIZZA WITH BROCCOLINI AND SUN DRIED TOMATOES

1 ball of Pizza Dough (white or wheat).  You can get this at Trader Joe's or just at your local pizza parlour.  Just ask them for a ball of dough.
Sun dried Tomatoes packed in olive oil
Feta cheese
1 pkg of Broccolini (in the packages vegetable section, usually where the mushrooms are placed)  Trader Joe's are the least expensive.  $2.49 per pkg
5 or 6 large Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper

Set oven to 450 degrees.
Cut 1/4" off of the ends of the Broccolini.  Then cut them into 1" pieces, place in a shallow dish with about 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on high for about 5 minutes.  In a large skillet, put about 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil.  Slice the mushrooms thin and cook in the oil until tender.  Drain the Broccolini and add to the mushrooms.  Add salt and pepper and saute for a couple of minutes.  Remove from heat.  Roll out the dough to make a thin crust.  Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes or until almost done.  Remove from oven and top with Broccolini, Mushrooms, diced Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Crumbled Feta Cheese.  Put back into the oven until hot and cheese has melted.  Remove from the oven, sprinkle with some Parmesan Cheese and a little Red Pepper.  Yummy!  Serve with a side salad.
Great Lunch or light dinner.

Thanks for stopping in today, have a great weekend
Ciao
