Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lbs. Pizza Dough
  • 3 links Sweet Italian Sausage, cooked and sliced
  • 1/4 c. +/- Extra Virgin Olive Oil; divided
  • 4 c. Fresh Baby Spinach, washed, stems removed
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 c. Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
  • 4 oz. Shredded Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F; then generously grease two 8-inch (or 9-inch) cake pans with extra virgin olive oil. (Mine had 1 1/2″ sides so if your pan has 2″ sides, the crust may be a little thinner.)
  • Add 1 lb. of the dough to each pan and stretch it out on the bottom and up the sides of the pan. (It may take a few minutes to do this as the dough will keep shrinking back down the sides, but stick with it, it will stay eventually.)Repeat with the second pan. Add a little more olive oil to the top of the dough, place both pans in the oven for 10 minutes to par bake the crust; then remove the pans from the oven.
  • While the dough is par cooking, heat a little olive oil in a large pan, add the garlic and spinach and saute until the spinach has wilted. Remove from the oven to add your toppings. 
  • Spread a thin layer of the Ricotta cheese on top of the dough; then add the Mozzarella cheese, spinach and garlic mixture and the cooked sausage.
  • Finally, place the pizza back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted; then cut each pizza into eight wedges.
