Ingredients
1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 medium head of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Roast the Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30–35 minutes until soft. Cool slightly and squeeze garlic into a bowl.
Prepare the Spinach: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Sauté spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Make the White Sauce: Mash roasted garlic, then mix with ricotta, half the mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Pizza: Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture over the pizza crust. Top with sautéed spinach, remaining mozzarella, and crumbled feta. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if using.
Bake the Pizza: Bake for 15–20 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Finish and Serve: Let pizza rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use whole-milk ricotta for extra creaminess.
Add marinated artichokes or olives for even more Mediterranean flair.
Great served with a crisp Greek salad.
Roasting garlic ahead of time makes prep faster.
