Ingredients

• one pizza crust recipe (such as Pioneer Woman's?)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 1 (6 ounce) bag of fresh spinach
• 1 (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts (5-7 count)
• 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
• 8 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Drain artichokes and press with a paper towel to reduce some of the moisture. Roughly chop, pressing with a towel again, then place in a bowl. Add ricotta cheese.

Heat a large skillet over medium low heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add in shallots with a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and spinach, tossing to coat and cooking until spinach is wilted. Transfer spinach mixture to the bowl with artichokes and ricotta, then add salt, pepper, 1/4 cup parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.

Drizzle pizza dough with 1 teaspoon olive oil and brush to coat. Sprinkle a bit of mozzarella cheese over top of the dough, then spread spinach ricotta mixture evenly over top. Cover with remaining parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
