A great way to make a quick homemade pizza is to use fresh pizza dough from your local market. You can marinate artichoke hearts for three days, or you can
use olive oil flavored with herbs on the pizza dough, then add fresh chopped rosemary and a few dollops of fresh ricotta. Preparing this pizza in the evening is very simple and doable for even the busiest home cook. The longest part is grating the fontina, which takes all of 2 minutes. Then just layer on the ingredients, pop it in the oven and go about rounding up the troops for dinner.
