Pesto is a world-renowned Italian spread made of walnuts and basil. It is a versatile ingredient, which can be used in many ways – ranging from dip and sauce to salad dressing and pizza topping.

This pizza benefits from the pesto, which gives it a luscious mouth-feel and amazingly vibrant taste. The exotic nature of the pizza only deepens as you discover the mix of cheese and vegetables that go into it.

When served fresh, you will really enjoy the crisp and juicy texture of the roasted veggies against the cheesy background that is enhanced with pesto.

Another unique touch in this pizza is the garnish of arugula and parmesan cheese, which imparts a really wonderful taste to it.

The Whole Wheat Pesto Pizza with Roasted Vegetables is indeed a very special treat, and must be enjoyed fresh to discover its full potential.

I always made the regular pesto pizza for my family. But this recipe of pesto with roasted vegetables when baked taste soo good, what I liked the most was the addition of arugula leaves and parmesan cheese powder after baking that gave that extra uniqueness and taste to this pizza.
