Get creative with pizza night!
Pizza night in our house is a big deal. It’s a perfect way to get creative and teach my kids about cooking and their Italian heritage. It is my dream to take them there when they are old enough, but for now we are eating food from Italy.
At the top of my list (and always stocked in my pantry) Mutti® Sauces for Pizza are crafted in Italy with the highest quality Italian ingredients. Their sauces are inspired by different areas in Italy, for instance the Napoli flavor (with Fresh Basil & Extra Virgin Olive Oil) is inspired by the Margherita pizza of Napoli -- a sauce that celebrates the beauty of simple, fresh ingredients.
Another favorite, Mutti® Parma (with Parmigiano Reggiano), is inspired by one of Parma’s most celebrated foods, the sauce blends Mutti tomatoes with aged Parmigiano Reggiano DOP cheese. I love adding something hearty to this like sausage and mushrooms.
Mutti® Positano (with Garlic & Oregano) is inspired by the flavors of the Amalfi coast where fresh, sun-ripened tomatoes are blended with bursts of savory garlic and oregano. When I have this sauce it makes me inspired to do some travel planning since the Amalfi coast is at the top of my list for trips.
Pizza night should be fun and playful! Since I try my best to inspire my kids to be creative when possible we like to celebrate #pizzacrEATivity on our pizza nights at home.
How to celebrate #pizzacrEATivity in your own home:
- Try out making pizza dough #fromscratch! It’s such a fun science experiment to do with your family and friends. Click here for my recipe.
- Use this as a learning opportunity. The Italian heritage is so rich in culture and has influenced a lot of the food we eat today. Each sauce is inspired by a different region in Italy: Napoli, Positano, and Parma. Grab a globe and chat about how fun it would be to travel to the land of pizza and pasta!
-Make it easy! Having a good foundation is key when it comes to making a good pizza and Mutti makes absolutely delicious. Grab your favorite @muttipomodorousa pizza sauce from your local Sprouts or Publix along with a handful of ingredients. Place everything out in little bowls and let the kids have pizza creating freedom!
-Make a mess! Let the kids have some creative freedom, toss the dough around, load up the toppings and smile!
