I love cooking, and I learned from Nana and Mom. Pizza is easily one of my favorite dishes to prepare. I switched up this recipe to make it my own.
Ingredients
2 hot italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 prebaked 12-inch thin whole wheat pizza crust
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 cups arugula or baby spinach
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Mix ricotta cheese and garlic powder.
Place crust on a baking sheet; spread with ricotta cheese mixture. Top with sausage, red pepper and onion; sprinkle with seasonings, then with mozzarella cheese.
Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is lightly browned and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. Top with arugula.
