Shopping List

1 fresh or frozen pizza crust (Note 1)
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup cooked fresh or frozen spinach (drained well)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, zested
garlic powder, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Pre-bake the crust according to package directions.
Step 2: Spread a thin layer of the olive oil over the pizza crust. Then spread the shredded mozzarella over the pizza, followed by small dollops of the spinach and ricotta (or mix the ricotta and spinach together for a more uniform flavor). Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3: Place the pizza back into the hot oven until cheese is melted. For my crust, this took about 6 minutes at 450°F. A pizza stone or pan will yield the crispiest crust results.
Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven top with the lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: This pizza is also delicious using fresh, homemade dough. Follow your favorite recipe with the toppings baked directly on top.
