Total time: 15 minutes. Fresh mozzarella is easier to slice when it is very firm. Place mozzarella in the freezer just until firm, and thinly slice. Any brand of prebaked pizza crust will work for this recipe.

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans. Submitted by: SP_STEPF

looked through the existing recipes and didn't find one that was identical; used less olive oil - so save a little pasta water to help thin to taste. not outrageously spicy but quite tasty.Submitted by: CFMOSS

Tasty! I like the flavor of the red potatoes, especially when roasted. You can roast them until just soft, or longer to get more crispy ones, like I prefer! Submitted by: CHENIA

It sounds like an odd combination, but it works. You could lightly saute fish fillets and top them with the pesto then the grated cheese if you so wish.
NOTE: These are a soft fishcake so do not put into the George Forman Grill.Submitted by: FLOWERDALEJEWEL
