Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 6 minutes
Total time: 21 minutes
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients needed:
- Alka Pizza Casei pizza dough (classic or flavored with herbs and garlic) - 1 pc
- Spicy sausage - 50 g (sliced obliquely)
- Mozzarella - 50 g (grated)
- Tomato sauce for pizza - 3 tbsp
- Jalapeno chili peppers - 1 pc
- Red onion (small) - 1 pc, julienned
- Fresh basil leaves - 5-6 pcs
- Spicy salami - 6 slices
- Black pepper - to taste

Ingredients for the tomato sauce (can keep in the fridge for up to 5 days):
- Canned peeled tomatoes - 400 g
- Basil leaves - 5 pieces
- Oregano leaves - 5 pieces
- Olive oil - 30 ml
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Let's start preparing the sauce!

Step 1: Prepare the tomato sauce
In a blender, add the peeled tomatoes, basil, oregano, olive oil, salt and sugar. Blend until smooth. This tomato sauce will bring a fresh and aromatic taste to your pizza! If you like a thinner sauce, you can further puree it, but a slightly thicker texture gives the pizza a rustic character.

Step 2: Prepare the ingredients
Cut the spicy meats into slanted slices and grate the mozzarella. Mash the chilli pepper, remove the seeds (if you prefer a less spicy pizza) and cut into thin strips. Julienne the red onion and add it on top of the pizza for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 3: Assembling the pizza
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees C. Grease a pizza pan with 15 ml olive oil, spreading it evenly over the entire surface. Now spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on the top, making sure to cover the entire surface. Add grated mozzarella on top, followed by julienned red onion. Next, place the slices of chilli peppers and tomatoes, basil leaves and finally the slices of spicy salami and spicy meat. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on top for an even more intense flavor.

Step 4: Baking the pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 6 minutes. You'll watch as the cheese melts and the crust turns golden and crispy. The flavor that will fill your kitchen will make you feel like you're in an authentic pizzeria.

Step 5: Serving
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm with a green salad or a cold beer to complete the dining experience. If you want to add a personal touch, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on top before serving.

Helpful tips:
- You can use other types of cheese if you prefer, such as goat or cheddar.
- If you want to customize your tomato sauce, you can add crushed garlic or chili for an even spicier taste.
- Instead of spicy salami, you can use prosciutto or bacon for a different twist.

Nutritional benefits:
This spicy pizza is high in protein thanks to the meat and cheese, and the tomatoes provide a hefty intake of vitamins, especially vitamin C and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Basil provides not only flavor but also anti-inflammatory benefits.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use a different type of topping?
Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free, depending on your dietary preferences.

2. How can I store leftover pizza?
I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can be eaten for the next 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispy texture.

3. What drinks go with spicy pizza?
A cold lager or a fruity red wine are great choices, but you can also opt for a gin-based cocktail for an interesting experience.
