This pizza delivers a symphony of textures and flavors. Earthy mushrooms mingle with the delicate peppery notes of Soli Organic Arugula and the mild sweetness of Soli Organic Spinach, all nestled on a bed of savory tomato sauce and gooey cheese. This recipe offers flexibility, allowing you to use a premade crust, a store-bought fresh crust, or your favorite homemade recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-14 inch) pizza crust (premade, store-bought fresh, or homemade)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup quality shredded fresh parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces sliced baby Bella mushrooms or your favorite variety
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 ounces fresh Soli Organic Baby Spinach and Baby Arugula (rinsed and dried)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: Red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, feta cheese
Directions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your chosen pizza crust. Typically, preheat to 425°F (220°C) for store-bought or premade crusts and follow baking instructions on the package. If using a homemade crust, follow your recipe's preheating and baking instructions.
- Prepare the mushrooms: While the oven preheats, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the prepared pizza crust. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange the cooked mushrooms over the cheese.
- Bake the pizza: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone (if using) and bake according to the crust instructions, typically for 10-12 minutes for premade or store-bought crusts, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add the greens: About 5 minutes before the pizza is done baking, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Scatter the fresh baby spinach and arugula over the hot pizza.
- Finishing touches: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach and arugula are slightly wilted.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy the rustic flavors and textures on their own, or add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat or crumbled feta cheese for a touch of salty creaminess.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as portobello, cremini, or shiitake.
If using a store-bought fresh pizza crust, let it come to room temperature before assembling the pizza.
You can use a pre-shredded cheese blend for convenience, but a freshly grated cheese like mozzarella will offer a superior taste and texture.
