Remember those tomatoes...

I used them yesterday when I made this tasty, rustic* pizza. I used some of that flavored olive oil to lightly coat a baking sheet and then dusted it with some coarse corn meal.  After spreading the room temperature dough in my typical inept fashion, I topped it with a smear of pesto, a layer of roasted tomatoes and some grated pecorino Romano.  The oven was hot at 475 degrees and I baked the pizza until the crust was a shade of golden brown that I like.  To finish the pizza, I threw a handful of arugula on top to wilt, as the oven cooled down.  Summer's here and the living is easy....


*rustic means "less than beautifully symmetric shaped crust" in my world.
