  • 2 cups basil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Pecorino
  • salt and pepper to taste

Pizza Kabobs

  • 1 DiGiorno® Pepperoni STUFFED CRUST® Pizza
  • 8-10 kabob sticks

Instructions

Marinara Sauce

  • Over medium high heat and in a large sauce pan, add olive oil. Heat olive oil for a few minutes, add onion, and cook for 3 minutes. Then add chopped garlic. Cook until onion is soft and translucent - approximately another 3-5 minutes.
  •  Add red wine to deglaze pan, and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until wine is cooked down. Add in tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir, letting it come to a slight boil. Then turn heat to low (lowest setting). 
  • Cover and let simmer for 15-30 minutes. Occasionally stir to make sure it’s not cooking to the bottom. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Alfredo Sauce

  • Over medium high heat and in a large sauce pan, add butter, and stir until melted. Add in parmesan cheese, and stir into butter until incorporated and combined. At this point, it will look chunky. 
  • Pour in half and half, and continuously stir for 5-7 minutes until the cheese and half-half and are well combined and smooth. Depending on the type of cheese you get, you may see some grated cheese still in sauce. This is fine as long as the sauce it smooth, warm, and well combined. 
  • Now it is ready to serve. If you are not serving this sauce right away, reduce to low heat (lowest setting) until you are ready to serve. Stir occasionally to keep sauce smooth. If you leave it too long and the sauce starts to thicken, add in a tablespoon or two of half-and-half, and stir until smooth.

Pesto Sauce

  • Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add oil and cheese and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl until ready to use; makes 1 cup.

Pizza Kabobs

  • Bake DiGiorno® Pepperoni STUFFED CRUST® Pizza according to package directions.
  • Once it is done baking, remove from oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes, then using a pizza cutter or knife, cut 1-inch rows in the pizza vertically, then cut 1-inch rows again going horizontally to form little squares, as pictured above.
  • Take pizza squares, one at a time, and push onto skewer, 5-6 squares per skewer. Place on a serving plate and repeat with remaining skewers and pizza.
