Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 bunch Swiss chard, ribs and stems sliced into 1" pieces, leaves torn
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 pound prepared pizza dough, room temperature
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
1 cup grated Fontina cheese
1 cup ricotta

Steps:

  • Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and break into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Let cook, undisturbed, until bottom sides are browned, about 4 minutes. Add chard stems; cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer sausage and chard stems to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Let skillet and drippings cool until just warm, then add chard leaves, turning to coat. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to bowl with sausage mixture.
  • Coat dough with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and stretch into an 18x12" oval on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Top with half of Parmesan and rosemary, followed by sausage mixture, Fontina, ricotta, then remaining Parmesan and rosemary.
  • Bake pizza, rotating sheet halfway through, until crust is golden brown and crisp, 18-22 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
