Time 40m

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pizza dough
4 ripe medium-large tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for crust)
6 ounces fresh spinach
1/3-1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Divide dough into two and roll out into two thin crusts. Lightly brush olive oil to taste on top and bake the dough for 5 minutes in a 425 degree oven on a greased and floured pan.
  • Meanwhile grate the four tomatoes into a medium bowl. If your tomatoes are really ripe, you can drain the excess liquid slighlty. Add the pressed garlic and olive oil.
  • Add the spinach to a medium pan over medium heat and saute with salt and pepper to taste until half-wilted.
  • Spread the tomato mixture on both crusts. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes. This should get rid of any excess liquid in the sauce.
  • Top the pizzas with spinach, basil, and a light sprinkling of mozzarella. Finish by placing small dallops of ricotta around the pizza, using a small spoon.
  • Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese bubbles and begins to brown.
