Crispy Green Beans with Pesto

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: STEPFANIER

Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

This recipe makes enough dough for 2-large pizzas. I'll often divide the dough in four and freeze smaller balls for use as calzones later!

I've done something similar before but I add in turkey meatballs chopped up into chunks and stuff those in with the cheese. It adds more protein and makes it more substational - 2/21/09

I haven't tried it yet, but this recips sounds delicious. I might add some spinach to the cheese to increase the veggies. I've definitely put the ingredients on my shopping list. - 2/21/09
