Oh. My. Awesome. Pizza! I was looking for a white spinach pizza recipe and wasn't having much luck until I happened upon Selfish Mom 's Spinach Pesto Pizza. I REALLY liked the idea of the pesto and spinach, but I'm not a fan of refrigerated pizza crust OR feta cheese. So I took the spinach, pesto, and tomatoes and then added in some ricotta and mozzarella (and fresh pizza dough). AWESOME!
Spinach, Ricotta, & Mozzarella Pizza
Pizza Dough (I prefer freshly made dough from my grocery store bakery section)
4T pesto (I use Barilla jarred pesto)
8 oz fresh mozzarella
14oz can petit diced tomatoes, drained
8oz package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
4oz ricotta (I am guesstimating here, I put in a few spoonfuls)
3T butter
~1/2 t garlic salt
~1/2 t cajun
cornmeal
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400*
2. Combine thawed/drained spinach, pesto, diced tomatoes, & ricotta in a bowl and set aside.
3. Roll out and/or toss pizza dough and place on pan/pizza stone (yes, I still need to buy a pizza stone) covered with a handful of cornmeal.
4. Melt butter and add garlic salt, cajun seasoning and mix.
5. Brush butter mixture onto pizza dough and bake 6 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and spread spinach mixture onto pizza dough.
7. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella.
Yum yum yum!!!
The ONLY thing that would have made this recipe better was to add some diced up chicken... and some fresh basil leaves on top!

ReplyDeleteThis pizza looks AWESOME! You took all of my favorite foods and put them together for one fantastic looking dinner. I am definitely trying this! I'll have to look for fresh pizza dough in our bakery section. I don't think I've ever seen it before, but maybe that's because I'm not looking. :)
