Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust Whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Baby arugula
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with 1 tablespoon of the truffle oil. Set aside.
Step 3
Spread the low-fat ricotta cheese evenly over the whole wheat pizza crust, leaving about a half-inch border.
Step 4
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the ricotta.
Step 5
Drizzle the garlic-infused truffle oil over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves evenly over the pizza.
Step 6
Carefully place the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
While the pizza is baking, toss the baby arugula in a medium bowl with the lemon juice, a light drizzle of remaining truffle oil (about 0.5 tablespoons), a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 8
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with the dressed arugula and finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 9
Slice and serve immediately while warm!
