Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a pot of boiling water, blanch the fresh green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and immediately place them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
3. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
7. Distribute the sautéed green beans evenly over the tomato sauce, followed by tearing the mozzarella cheese into pieces and scattering it on top.
8. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza for added flavor.
9. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.
