Potato Bacon Pesto Pizza



Pizza is a forever favorite in my home, and I love its versatility.  I found a pesto potato pizza recipe and decided to add bacon, because let's face it, everything is better with bacon.  I also decided to make my pesto from scratch because fresh basil smells wonderful.

Start off by preheating your oven to 450 degrees.  Now time to make that pesto.


Pesto Sauce:
2 oz. basil, remove stems (about 3 bunches, I used the container pictured above)
1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts (if you're feeling fancy)
