Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the spinach to the pan and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Scatter the sautéed spinach and garlic mixture over the tomato layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the spinach.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire pizza and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 12

Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
