Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Pizza

Is your mouth watering from the title of this post? Goat-cheese-anything and my mouth starts to water.

I told you about my cooking funk I’ve been experiencing lately and that these recipes were inspiring me to get out of it. Well, since I’m always a lady of my word, I made one of these tasty dishes like I said I would.  This pizza was the bomb-dot-com. Since it was Kacy’s recipe (and since I don’t take my chances on modifying recipes or coming up with my own recipes- I have a hard enough time following recipes as it is) I have decided she should become the next Rachel Ray and she can be called “Kacy Kay” ;)

As I mentioned at the top, I can eat goat cheese on pretty much anything, or on nothing…. I’ll eat it straight out of the carton. Matt on the other-hand thinks the flavor is a bit “strong.” Psssshhhh, whatever. However, being the lovely fiance that I am, I went easy with the goat cheese on this pizza. The recipe calls for 2 oz, but I could have easily used all 4 oz. on. This pizza was delicious! Despite my laziness and using a pre-made, pre-cooked, pre-everything Boboli crust, it was fantastic!

Here’s Kacy’s recipe that I used:

-Ingredients-

- Pizza dough of choice (like I mentioned, I was lazy and went with Boboli, but I was healthy and went with a thin crust :))
-2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers
1 purple onion
several cloves of garlic
Pizza or pasta sauce of choice
8 oz mozzarella cheese
2 oz goat cheese
fresh basil

-Directions-

1. Chop up vegetables, toss in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Spread onto a roasting pan. Add full cloves of garlic. Roast at 425 degrees for approximately 30-45 minutes. Flip vegetables at least once while baking

2. Add sauce to pizza dough, cheeses and vegetable toppings making sure to smash garlic and goat cheese evenly throughout. Bake for approximately 10 minutes at 425, until cheese is browning and bubbling.

3. Remove and sprinkle on a handful of fresh basil.

4. Use the pizza wheel to cut into slices.

5. Enjoy it all in one sitting!
