Introduction

This spinach pizza with white sauce is a delightful twist on classic pizza, combining vibrant greens and sun-dried tomatoes for a fresh, savory flavor. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a casual get-together, it’s both easy to prepare and delicious.

A flat round pizza crust with a pale golden edge has one even layer of creamy white cheese spread smoothly over the top. Scattered on the cheese layer are pieces of dark green leafy spinach and small strips of deep red sun-dried tomatoes, creating a colorful contrast. The pizza sits on a round metal pan, placed on a white marbled surface with soft beige fabric slightly visible in the background. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 bag frozen spinach
Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
3/4 cup white pizza sauce

1 large Stone Fire 14-inch pizza crust

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the frozen spinach until all the water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
Step 3: Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Evenly spread the white pizza sauce over the surface.
Step 4: Top the sauce with the cooked spinach and diced sun-dried tomatoes. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 5: Remove the pizza from the oven. Optionally, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh spinach if preferred, just sauté it until wilted and moisture evaporates before topping the pizza.
Add a sprinkle of mozzarella or goat cheese for extra creaminess.

Try adding caramelized onions or roasted garlic for additional depth of flavor.
If you don’t have white pizza sauce, a simple mixture of ricotta and garlic works well.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes to maintain a crispy crust.

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh spinach works well. Just sauté it until wilted and most of the moisture evaporates before using it as a topping.

What can I substitute for white pizza sauce?

If you don’t have white pizza sauce, you can use a mix of ricotta cheese with a bit of garlic and olive oil, or simply spread olive oil and minced garlic over the crust for a lighter alternative.
