    1 Heat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray or pizza stone with baking paper. Set a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add meatballs to pan and cook according to packet instructions. Remove meatballs from pan and cut each in half.

    2 Place pizza base on prepared tray (or stone). Spread base with pesto and top evenly with meatball halves, ricotta and capsicum. Transfer tray to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crust and ricotta start to brown.

    3 Toss salad leaves and tomato with vinaigrette. Cut pizza into 8 slices, garnish with basil and serve with salad.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free pizza base and check pesto is gluten free.
