This Greek Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza combines the creamy richness of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses with the tangy punch of feta and Parmesan. A head of roasted garlic lends a sweet, caramelized depth, perfectly complementing sautéed spinach and a hint of oregano, all on a crispy pre-made crust. Ideal for a flavorful vegetarian meal, this pizza is as nutritious as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base and Sauce

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 medium head of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided into ½ cup and ½ cup)
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Let it cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
  2. Prepare the Spinach: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the White Sauce: Mash the roasted garlic in the bowl until smooth. Add ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything until well combined to form a creamy garlic ricotta sauce.
  4. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza crust. Top with the sautéed spinach, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the spinach. Add crumbled feta cheese on top, and if you desire some heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a pre-made pizza crust for convenience or homemade for a more personalized touch.
  • Roasting garlic mellows its sharpness and adds a sweet, caramelized flavor.
  • Fresh spinach wilts quickly; do not overcook it to retain vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit to keep it mild.
  • This pizza can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free pre-made crust.
  • Leftover pizza can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
