Equipment
- Baking Sheet optional
- Parchment paper optional (us with baking sheet)
- Pizza Stone optional
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust store-bought or homemade (click for recipe)
- 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
- 1 medium head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Roast the Garlic:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of the head of garlic, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized. Once done, allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
Prepare the Spinach:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped spinach until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the White Sauce:
- In the bowl with the roasted garlic, mash it with a fork until smooth. Add the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza crust. Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach on top, followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese and crumbled feta. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the top.
Bake the Pizza:
- Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbly and slightly browned.
Finishing Touches:
- Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
