Three Cheese Pesto Spinach Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Three Cheese Pesto Spinach Flatbread Pizza

This recipe is a quick and delicious vegetarian pizza option perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy parmesan sauce and gooey cheeses complement the fresh spinach and flavorful pesto.

Ingredients:

• 5 oz fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• Salt, to taste
• 1 garlic naan flatbread
• 2 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
• ¼ cup prepared pesto

Cooking Guide:

1. Prepare the Spinach: Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Heat a pan over medium heat with the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
2. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In the same pan (off heat), whisk together the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and salt. Season with pepper to taste (optional).
3. Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the creamy parmesan sauce evenly over the naan flatbread. Top with mozzarella cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and the chopped spinach. Drizzle with pesto to your desired amount.
4. Bake: Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips:

• Flatbread Options: You can substitute naan for any store-bought flatbread you like, such as pita bread or whole wheat tortillas.
• Spinach Variation: If you don’t have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach instead. Thaw and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
• Pesto Options: Use store-bought pesto or try making your own for a more customized flavor.
• Extra Toppings: Feel free to add other toppings you like, such as chopped tomatoes, red onion, or sliced mushrooms.
• Leftovers: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven until warmed through.
