     I was thumbing through a Cooking Light magazine and came across this recipe.  It looked so good I had to make it and I was right, it was delish!
     

Recipe from Cooking Light

1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup small fresh basil leaves
Crushed red pepper (optional)

How to make it:

Preheat broiler to high.
Place a baking sheet in oven; heat for 10 minutes
While baking the baking sheet heats, place crust on another baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.

Spread pesto evenly over crust, leaving a 1 inch border; sprinkle mozzarella evenly over pesto.
Dollop ricotta, by teaspoonfuls, evenly over mozzarella.
