Caponata, an Italian condiment made with eggplant, tomatoes, olives, and capers, is usually served on little toasts or crackers. Here, it enhances the topping for pizza. All you have to do is cook down eggplant chunks and stir in the store-bought caponata. Also, this recipe uses prebaked pizza crust; these little touches cut down on prep, which allows the recipe to come together quickly (no one wants to spend all night making a pizza!). Top with some mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and bake until melted. Garnish the hot pizza with some fresh basil for color and flavor, and your new favorite weeknight dinner is ready to go.
