Ingredients

• 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 14 ounces, crushed canned tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups arugula
• 4 ounces, thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the crushed canned tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round or rectangular shape depending on your baking tray or pizza stone size.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pizza dough.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza dough with parchment onto the heated pizza stone or baking tray.

Step 9

Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.

Step 10

While the pizza bakes, in a medium bowl, toss the arugula with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste.

Step 11

Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately top with the arugula mixture.

Step 12

Arrange the thinly sliced prosciutto over the arugula.

Step 13

Slice and serve the pizza immediately, allowing your guests to enjoy the blend of savory prosciutto, tangy sauce, and fresh arugula.
