Grilled Tomato and Prosciutto Pizza with Provolone Cheese

(Photo courtesy Carapelli Olive Oil)

I have the hardest time photographing pizza.  I don't know what it is about it.. maybe because my pizzas are never round, they end up more rectangular, so I don't get good slice pictures.  Whatever the problem.. it was solved here.. I just politely borrowed this picture from Carapelli Olive Oil.  And, since this recipe is courtesy Carapelli, I don't feel bad using the photo at all.

This pizza was fantastic!  There is something wonderful about prosciutto on pizza - well, actually there is just something wonderful about prosciutto and I do not use it enough in my cooking.  Probably more of a cost thing than anything else, but in this case, I was willing to splurge.  And it was well worth it!

As you can see from the picture, Carapelli's recipe calls for arugula... I completely forgot to get some when I was at the store, so I left it out of my adaptation of the recipe.  (You can find the original recipe HERE.)  Otherwise, uuhhmmm... yeah... my picture would have looked JUST like this one!!  lol
