Pistachio and Ricotta Pizza
Pistachio is sweet where ricotta is fresh, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Crushed pistachios add a vibrant green color and a sweet, buttery, slightly floral crunch. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
