Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes (canned)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound italian sausage (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cups spinach
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and almond milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Grease a deep dish pizza pan with the ghee and press the dough into the pan evenly across the bottom and sides, creating a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the canned tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes while breaking down the tomatoes with a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool slightly, then blend until smooth.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Pour a layer of tomato sauce onto the pre-baked crust.
Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly over the sauce.
Finish by pouring the remaining tomato sauce over the top.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the crust is golden.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves before serving.
