Pizza Bianca

This is from my favorite cooking magazine, Martha Stewart Food. I had a very similar recipe made for our fam by my friend Kelly, after Charlie was born. Hers was way more gourmet, but this one is still delicious, super easy, and affordable. Pair it with your favorite wine, some good dessert, and you're set.

INGREDIENTS
pizza dough (I love TJ's herb & garlic dough)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan
2 cups baby arugula

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 500 (I know!!). Dust work surface with flour and roll out dough. Transfer to pizza pan/stone or baking sheet. In bowl, stir ricotta, 1 tbsp oil, and garlic; season with salt/pepper. Spread ricotta mixture on dough, leaving border for crust. Top with mozzarella, then parmesan. Brush 1 tsp oil on edge of dough. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted and browned in spots, 12-14 minutes. In a small bowl, toss arugula with 1 tsp oil and season to taste with salt/pepper. Top pizza with arugula and serve!

    This was a huge hit at our house! A crowd pleaser for sure. Love the simplicity of this recipe and the added greens on top. Very summery and refreshingly lite. Yum.
