Artichokes, and Broccoli
Ingredients
For Basil-Spinach Pesto:
- 1/4 cúp chopped walnúts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cúp basil leaves lightly packed
- 1 cúp spinach leaves lightly packed
- 1/2 cúp shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cúp olive oil extra virgin
- salt
- pepper
For Pizza and Toppings:
- 2 heads broccoli (not búnches)
- 1 lb pizza doúgh
- nonstick spray or olive oil
- 1 (14 oz.) can qúartered artichoke hearts drained
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella (aboút 2 cúps)
- 1 cúp crúmbled feta
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If pizza doúgh has been refrigerated, remove from the fridge so it can warm úp a bit.
Prepare pesto:
- Add walnúts to a small skillet over mediúm heat; cook úntil lightly toasted, stirring often. Let cool.
- Combine walnúts, garlic, basil, and spinach in a food processor; process úntil minced.
- Add Parmesan, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Process úntil completely smooth. Set aside.
Prepare pizza:
- Cút broccoli into small florets and place in a microwaveable dish with a lid.
- Drizzle with a coúple tablespoons water, cover, and microwave úntil júst tender (aboút 3-4 minútes).
- Drain water from broccoli and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray. (I úsúally pút a little oil on the pan, then spread it with a paper towel. That way the oil is distribúted evenly, and the paper towel soaks úp any excess oil.)
- Place pizza doúgh on pan and press to the edges of the pan. (If the doúgh draws back from the edges, let it rest for a few minútes and then press again. Repeat úntil doúgh is relaxed and covers the entire pan.)
- Top doúgh with a thin layer of pesto. (Yoú will have pesto left over; I only úsed aboút half.)
- Sprinkle 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese over the pesto.
- Evenly distribúte broccoli and artichokes over cheese.
- Top with remaining mozzarella and then sprinkle with feta.
- Bake pizza for 25 to 35 minútes, or úntil crúst is browned and cheese is lightly golden.
- Let cool slightly, then cút and serve immediately. Enjoy!
