Mushroom Basil Goat Cheese Pizza

Mushroom Basil Goat Cheese Pizza

We got the hankering for some pizza one night. I will tell this story through pictures, the final products being from two different nights. The Pizza sauce made two pizzas, we used 2 crusts. . Ingredients came from Trader Joe's.

Mushrooms, cleaned, sliced, sauteed with minced Garlic
Basil, cleaned, ripped
TJ's Whole Wheat Crust, rolled out according to directions
TJ's pizza sauce Mushrooms and Garlic
Herb Crusted Goat Cheese from TJ's
Shredded Whole Milk Mozzarella

1/4 of the pizza was made without the cheeses for the Vegan that ate with us.

For an a little something extra,
rub a drizzle of Olive Oil into the crust, then a few drops of Honey, and a sprinkle of Cinnamon, which gives a slight sweetness to the crust and balances out any savory pizza.


Enjoy!

Base White Sauce Recipe

Here is a great white sauce base recipe, that will have you eating more pasta. Just add creativity.

Recipe:
1 part Butter
1 cup Milk (may need more)
1 cup Flour

Start by getting your ingredients ready, then start cooking your pasta according to its directions.
Then with equal parts, I used 4 TBS of each, add the butter to a non-stick pan until it is just melted. Add your flour until it is well coated.
Then slowly pour in your milk while stirring, once you add the milk, you want to keep stirring throughout the rest of the process. Your mixture should look like this.
If it is too thick, add some more milk and keep stirring, I used up 2 cups total. The goal is to have it simmer with bubbles popping for 1 minute, then once it gets to the consistency you like you can remove it from heat and serve. To spruce things up a bit, I sauteed up some Broccoli and Peas in a pan and added them to the pasta dish. I used enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, so the broccoli could absorb some of it. To finish off the meal, I plated it and put some Quatrro Formaggio cheese on top and some chopped tomatoes. Enjoy!

Adrienne's Pizza Bar

4.5 stars out of 5

Adrienne's Pizza Bar is nestled in the heart of the financial district, when I lived in NY I had the opportunity to visit for an evening dinner. It instantly became a favorite in my book. The cobblestone streets leading up to it, street tables, and surrounding shops are reminiscent of small-town Italy. The Grandma pizza is fantastic as well as the other Italian specialties. My party of 3, split a salad, a couple of appetizers, a pizza and a bottle of Red Wine. We were stuffed, and got out under $15 a head including Tax. Next time I am in NY I will bring back pictures and a more in depth look at the menu and dishes. However, do yourself a favor and find it, order something, anything, and enjoy.

Caution- unusually long lines at lunch, make it hard to make on a lunch break.
