Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • Pre-made pizza crust Base for the pizza; consider a homemade crust for customization.
For the Spinach Mixture
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped Adds nutritional value, packed with vitamins A, C, and K; use fresh, bright green leaves for the best flavor.
  • 1 medium head garlic Roasted for a sweet, caramelized flavor that enhances the pizza; can substitute with garlic powder for convenience but will lose some richness.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for roasting garlic and sautéing spinach; extra virgin olive oil is preferable for its flavor.
For the White Sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese Contributes creaminess to the white sauce base; can substitute with mascarpone for a richer texture.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Provides gooey texture; feel free to mix in other cheeses based on preference.
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled Adds a tangy flavor that complements the garlic and spinach well.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese Enhances the savory flavor profile; can replace with pecorino romano for a sharper taste.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Adds aromatic, earthy notes traditional in Greek cuisine.
For the Toppings
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Adds heat; adjust quantity to taste for a kick.
  • Fresh basil leaves Offers a fresh burst of flavor and color; optional but recommended.
  • Salt and pepper Essential for seasoning throughout the recipe.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle it with olive oil, then wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Allow the garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze the sweet, caramelized cloves into a bowl.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In the bowl with the roasted garlic, mash the cloves until smooth. Mix in ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, oregano, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy.
  4. Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture evenly over the pre-made pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Layer the sautéed spinach on top, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and crumbled feta evenly across.
  5. Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Watch for the crust to turn golden brown and the cheeses to begin bubbling.
  6. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
