Spinach & Artichoke Pizza

Garlic before roasting
1 garlic bulb
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 pizza crust dough (homemade or store bought)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 c. Parmesan, shredded, divided
2 c. mozzarella, shredded, divided
13 oz. can of artichokes, drained and chopped
1 c. fresh baby spinach

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Slice off the top of the garlic bulb so the cloves are exposed. Place in a pie dish, clove side up. Drizzle with olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil.
Before baking

Bake for 35 minutes.

While the garlic is roasting, spread your dough out on a pizza sheet.

When the garlic is done roasting, remove from oven and turn the heat up to 475 F.

In a small bowl, mash together 5-6 cloves of the roasted garlic. Pour in the 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Mix together. Spread onto the prepared pizza dough.

Sprinkle with 1/4 c. Parmesan and 1 c. mozzarella. Add the artichokes and spinach.
Ready to eat

Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses.

Bake 14-16 minutes or until the crust is golden and the bottom of the dough is cooked. Slice and serve.
