Ingredients

• 1 large ball (about 12 ounces) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Zucchini
• 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.

Step 3

Dust a sheet of parchment paper with cornmeal and place the rolled-out dough on top. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.

Step 7

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Top the pizza with sautéed spinach, zucchini slices, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
