Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust Whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Baby arugula
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with 1 tablespoon of the truffle oil. Set aside.
Spread the low-fat ricotta cheese evenly over the whole wheat pizza crust, leaving about a half-inch border.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the ricotta.
Drizzle the garlic-infused truffle oil over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves evenly over the pizza.
Carefully place the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the pizza is baking, toss the baby arugula in a medium bowl with the lemon juice, a light drizzle of remaining truffle oil (about 0.5 tablespoons), a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with the dressed arugula and finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Slice and serve immediately while warm!
