Ristorante pizza with a feta and pesto pasta salad

I like the base, base, base, base – JD, 4

We had a tough, tough task this week when we were asked to try out the Pizza Ristorante range from Dr. Oetker.

We opted for the Mozzarella variety, which has an unusually thin, slightly sweet and biscuity base, topped with a tomato sauce, Edam cheese, chopped tomatoes, mozzarella circles and blobs of herb butter.

It’s reasonable value at £2.78, cooks from frozen in just 10 minutes and is tasty and more filling that it looks.

However, pizza alone is obviously not all that healthy, so we shared ours between three and served it with a handful of rocket and a fresh pasta salad.
