Ingredients

1 ½ cups packed fresh basil leaves
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 cloves garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
5 cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ tablespoon dried rosemary
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
1 (8.8 ounce) package 2-pack naan bread
⅔ cup ricotta cheese
⅓ cup feta cheese
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, walnuts, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend pesto until desired consistency, 5 to 8 minutes. Add 1 extra tablespoon olive oil at a time for a thinner pesto. Set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in mushrooms, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 naan and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Spread naan with a generous amount of pesto, and top with ricotta cheese, feta cheese, and sauteed mushrooms. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese is melted. Repeat with second naan and remaining ingredients.
