Ready to bake!

Pizza topper + extra
Blend & drizzle over the top of your finished pizza...

2 tbsp fresh basil (or Dorot Frozen Fresh)
1 clove of garlic
2 c mixed loose spinach
1/4 c loose shredded parmesan cheese

Ordinary sandwiches beware!

1/4 c sunflower seeds or pinenuts
1/2 c extra virgin olive oil - drizzle more to aide blending

1 inch of lemon zest
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp salt (you can adjust with more, but never less!)

Did you know that people in ancient Rome believed that eating basil would protect them from the dragon Bazilik, which is how basil gets its name?  Out of love and protection for my family, I pledge to eat more basil!  In health.. Salute!  Ciao... -A
