Italian Quesadilla

A good & quick (10 minutes) alternative to a calzone!

1.) Fire up the stove (low heat) with a frying pan.
2.) Throw a flour tortilla with a little olive oil in the frying pan (on low heat).
3.) Spread pesto & pasta sauce thinly over the tortilla.
4.) Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on tortilla.
5.) Add:
sauteed mushrooms, real basil leaves, red peppers, onions (to taste), chopped italian olives, spinage and whatever else your heart delights. (Italian sausage if you are a carnivore.)
6.) Then turn up to medium heat. Fold over tortilla and let it brown. Take it off heat when cheese & filling is hot.

YUMMY!

Quick, easy & lighter than a calzone!
