Why You’ll Love This Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza

Okay, let’s face it—sometimes, pizza is just what you need. And this isn’t your ordinary slice. This Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without making you feel like you need to hit the gym afterward. Plus, it’s super easy to whip up, even if you’re juggling a million things, including kids, work, and maybe a few precious moments of “me time.”

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to make this delightful pizza:

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (you’ll thank me later for this shortcut!)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 bulb garlic
• 2 cups fresh spinach (because you have to balance things out, right?)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A pinch of red pepper flakes (if you like a little kick!)

Steps to Pizza Paradise

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This is where the magic begins!
2. Roast the garlic: Slice the top off the bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and pop it in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until golden and soft. Your kitchen will smell divine—it’s like a gourmet restaurant in there!
3. Sauté the spinach: While the garlic is roasting, heat a bit of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Prepare the sauce: Once the garlic is done and cooled slightly, squeeze the softened cloves into a bowl. Mix in the ricotta cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This creamy blend is going to be your pizza’s secret weapon!
5. Assemble the pizza: Roll out your pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the crust, topping it with the sautéed spinach, and sprinkle with both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Don’t be shy—let’s pile it on!
6. Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. If you love a little extra crunch, turn on the broiler for the last minute. Just remember to keep an eye on it—nobody likes burnt edges!
7. Finish with flair: Once it’s safely out of the oven, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top if you crave a little spice.

Cooking Tips

• No fresh spinach? Don’t worry! You can totally use frozen spinach; just make sure to thaw and drain it first.
• Feeling fancy? Add some sliced mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes to elevate your pizza to gourmet status.
• Leftover garlic? Spread it on toast for an easy, garlic bread side. Your taste buds will thank you!

• Can I substitute ricotta cheese? Yes! Cream cheese or cottage cheese works well in a pinch.
