Fresh Basil & Mozzarella Pizza

I love to drink wine while cooking. It really helps me relax and experiment with my cooking. We love Betty Crocker instant pizza dough and with the hot Sacramento weather were craving something fresh. I used some left over Todd Taylor Sangiovese to flavor the tomato paste, which gave the pizza a strong, slightly bitter flavor. I cut generous portions of mozzarella, fresh tomatoes from the garden and topped it off with plenty of fresh basil. Lots of kosher salt and cracked pepper too!
