Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 500g passata with basil
- 25g finely chopped fresh basil, plus leaves to garnish
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 100g low fat natural cottage cheese
- 200g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
for the base:
- 500g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)
- 250g lean pork mince (5% fat or less)
- 2 tsp dried Italian herb mix (OR ANY SPICES YOU DECIDE)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°c/Fan 170°c/Gas 5. Put the garlic, onion, passata in a saucepan and bring to the boil over a high heat. Turn the heat down to medium, stir in the basil, season to taste and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, line a heavy-based 25cm pizza tin with non-stick baking parchment. Put all the ingredients for the base into a large bowl, season to taste and mix well using your fingers. Press this mixture into the prepared tin to make a flat round base and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove the base from the oven and drain off any liquid. Increase the oven temperature to 220°c/Fan 200°c/Gas 7.
Spread the passata mixture over the base, scatter over the mushrooms and peppers. Return the pizza to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbling. Scatter over the basil leaves, cut into wedges and serve with a crisp green salad.
