Extra Creamy White Pizza with Ricotta and Mascarpone

An ode to dairy. Instead of red sauce, a blend of Ricotta and Mascarpone creates a silky, rich bed for the mozzarella. Without tomato acidity, the flavor is dominated by sweet cream and savory cheese, balanced by black pepper and fresh basil. Pure comfort food.
