This recipe is mostly about the vegetarian ‘tomato sauce’ base. I’ve always been on a quest for a decent protein-rich veggie pizza and this sauce is now one of my best tricks. Top the pizzas however you would like, the ingredients here are just a start.
These can make a great appetizer, but also can be served on their own as a full meal or as a main dish with a side salad.
