Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to parchment paper dusted with cornmeal or flour. This will prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add baby spinach and arugula, cooking until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the stretched dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the ricotta base.
Top the pizza with the sautéed greens, spreading them out evenly.
Slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle fresh basil, lemon zest, and optional red pepper flakes on top.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pizza for added flavor.
Slice and serve hot, enjoying the harmony of creamy, tangy, and herby flavors!
