Posted By Nick On November 8, 2009 @ 12:32 pm In Main Course, Peanut Butterless | 7 Comments

Ingredients:

1 whole wheat pizza crust (store-bought or half-baked homemade)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 large bunch (~4oz) fresh spinach or chopped swiss chard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
3 thin slices prosciutto or ham, diced into small squares
1/2 cup nonfat ricotta cheese, salted
grated parmesan, to garnish
1/4t garlic salt
1/4t crushed red pepper flakes
1/4t garlic powder
1/2t dried basil
1/2t dried oregano

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray and add the diced ham. Cook until brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, and put ham aside. Place the pan back on the burner, spray again and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute and add the spinach and the garlic salt. Cook until the spinach has cooked down, about 1-2 minutes.

2. Place the pizza crust on a cutting board. Spread the sauce over the crust to about 3/4″ from the edge. Add the garlic powder, basil and oregano on top of the sauce. Distribute the ham, spinach and tomatoes on top. Add the ricotta in dollops and shake the parmesan and red pepper flakes on top. Place the pizza directly onto the oven rack if it’s firm enough or place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to brown and the crust is crispy.
