Yield: 8 slices
One recipe Bread Machine Pizza Dough or Hand-Rolled Pizza Dough
3 cups (moderately packed) chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup canned or marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
3/4 cup marinara sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2.
Roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch circle and transfer to a 14-inch
pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to
allow the crust to rise slightly.
3. Place the spinach in a
medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook over medium
heat for a minute or two to wilt the spinach. Remove from the heat and
toss in the artichoke hearts. Set aside.
4. Top the crust with the marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese followed by the spinach mixture and mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pizza is lightly browned. Serve hot.

Time-Saving
Tip: substitute 10 ounces frozen (thawed) whole wheat bread dough for
the homemade pizza dough. Or make 4 mini-pizzas using whole grain pita
bread, flatbread, or tortillas for the crusts. (Bake mini pizzas for
about 8 to 10 minutes).
