Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Stop ordering pizzas on Uber Eats and get into the kitchen to make your own.

These spicy feta, pepper and courgette pizzas from Cooks&Co will be hot and ready to eat long before a delivery driver gets there with your cold, soggy takeaway.

Spicy feta, pepper and courgette pizzas

Serves: 4

Prep time: 15 mins, plus defrosting | Cooking time: 12-15 mins

Ingredients:

2 x 220g frozen pizza dough balls, defrosted

100g pizza sauce

200g grated mozzarella

1 courgette, cut into ribbons

150g Cooks&Co Roasted Red and Yellow Peppers, quartered

25g Cooks&Co Tri-colour Jalapeno Slices

100g feta

To serve:

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil

Basil leaves

Method:

Preheat the oven to 240C/gas mark 9.

On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a rough 30cm round and place on 2 large lightly floured baking trays. Spread with the pizza sauce leaving a 2cm border.

Sprinkle with cheese and top with courgette ribbons, peppers and jalapenos. Crumble over the feta and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Drizzle with extra oil and scatter over a few basil leaves to serve.

Cooks tip: Add spoonfuls of mascarpone instead of feta.
