- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Chop the clove of garlic and add to a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook on a low heat for 1 minute then add the tin of tomatoes and the basil and reduce for 25 minutes on a low heat, stirring from time to time.
- Break the black pudding into bite size pieces and cut the goats cheese into similar size chunks. Roll one fifth of the pizza dough. Spread some of the tomato sauce on the dough and add the toppings and some parmesan cheese. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until crispy on the edges. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on the pizza before serving.
