Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 16- oz. homemade pizza dough can substitute store-bought dough
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tsp Italian seasonings divided
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 8 oz. ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10- oz. frozen chopped spinach thawed
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 460°F.
- Roll pizza dough into a 15-16” round circle. Place dough on a piece of parchment paper.
- In a small dish, combine the olive oil, 2 tsp Italian seasonings, salt and garlic powder. Brush this mixture around the outer 1” of the dough. (This will become the crust for the pizza.)
- Using a small bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, remaining 1 tsp Italian seasonings and minced garlic. Using an offset spatula, spread the ricotta mixture evenly on top of pizza dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top of ricotta.
- Place thawed spinach in a colander and press firmly to drain as much liquid as possible. Sprinkle spinach evenly on top of cheeses. (Note: Adjust amount of spinach to your personal preferences. We used ~½ of a 10-oz. package on this version.)
- Finally, spread red onions and grated Parmesan on top of the pizza.
- Bake at 460°F for 12-13 minutes, or until pizza crust is golden brown in color.
Notes
For a spicy kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes on this pizza is pretty delicious!
