Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups (washed and roughly chopped) Fresh spinach
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Flour
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your preferred shape. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
Spread an even layer of the Alfredo sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly on top of the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Carefully transfer the assembled pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. For added flavor, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy masterpiece!
