Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 240°C with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 15 ml extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 120 g fresh spinach leaves and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted and bright green. Season with a pinch of salt and remove from heat.
Step 3: In a small saucepan, gently warm 15 ml extra virgin olive oil with 3 finely minced garlic cloves over low heat for 5 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Roll out 250 g pizza dough on a floured surface into a 28 cm round. Spread 150 g ricotta cheese evenly over the base, leaving a 1.5 cm border.
Step 5: Distribute the sautéed spinach over the ricotta, then sprinkle 30 g grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 6: Transfer the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and cheese slightly bubbled.
Step 7: Remove pizza from oven and drizzle the warm garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the top.
Step 8: Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the creamy ricotta and aromatic garlic finish.
