Margherita Skillet Pizza

Pizza Margherita is a simple pie made with minimal ingredients. Oven roasting the tomatoes and garlic give this fresh chunky sauce great depth of flavor. You can skip the roasting and garnish the pizza with sliced tomatoes instead, but I hope you will try the roasted tomatoes and sprinkle on a little crushed red pepper. Dreamy!
