Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put a large baking tray into the oven.
Combine the pork mince, breadcrumbs and egg yolk in a bowl and season lightly. Using your hands, shape into 28 mini meatballs.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the meatballs for 5 mins, tossing often until golden. Set aside.
Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven. Put 2 pizza bases on the tray, spread 3 tbsp of arrabbiata sauce onto each base, leaving the edges empty. Scatter over half the mozzarella, seven meatballs on each pizza as well as half the red onion and peppers. Drizzle over 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil. Cook the pizzas in the oven for 8-9 mins, until the base is crispy and the cheese has melted.
As the pizzas cook, prepare the remaining pizzas and cook after the first ones are removed from the oven. Transfer each pizza to a board or plate, scatter over some Parmesan shavings, basil leaves and red chilli before serving.
