Make It Count Kitchen

A quick, flavorful pizza night upgrade

If you’re looking for a way to bring big flavor to the table with minimal effort, these Prosciutto Pesto Naan Pizzas are the answer. They take all the herby, garlicky punch of homemade pesto, pair it with salty prosciutto, and bake it on fluffy naan for a weeknight dinner that feels like a treat but comes together in minutes.

It’s one of my go-to easy weeknight recipes—no dough mixing, no long rise times, and no fussy prep. Just fresh ingredients, a hot oven, and a little assembly time. Perfect for summer dinner recipes when you want something lighter but still satisfying.

Instructions

1. Make the Pesto

In a blender or food processor, combine basil, spinach, pistachios, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured. Add a splash of water or more olive oil if the mixture is too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

2. Assemble the Pizzas

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place naan breads on a baking sheet, bubbly side up. Spread a thin layer of pesto evenly over each naan. Top with a handful of shredded mozzarella. Arrange prosciutto spirals evenly across the top. Sprinkle lightly with dried oregano.

3. Bake

Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the naan edges are lightly crisped.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot, straight from the oven, with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables. These pizzas also pair beautifully with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
