Ham and Pineapple Pizza
Ham and Pineapple Pizz If you have pizza crust, julienne-cut ham, preshredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the ham you could follow this main course with the Apple Graham Dessert as a dessert. It works well as a main course. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.
Instructions
Place pizza crust on a baking sheet.
Spread sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with ham, pineapple, and cheese; sprinkle with red pepper.
Bake at 450 for 10 minutes or until the crust is crisp.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Italian. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 32 dollars per bottle.
Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico
"Lots of meat, berry and plum character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, rich finish. Decadent style that I like. Serious quality for the vintage. No Castello in 2002, so this was upgraded."-Wine SpectatorColor: Deep purplish-red but bright and exceptionally concentrated.Bouquet: Extremely intense and complex with scents of cherries and raspberries accompanied by light toasty and spicy shadings.Flavor: The impact in the mouth is incisive but soft due to a substantial structure of tannins in which those that are soft and well rounded stand out. Acidity is fused with the wine's body and aids the transmission of pleasant sensations of warmth and strength. The wine features a long finish that is unusual for a regular Chianti Classico.
