Spinach & Goat Cheese Pesto Pizza

 Print Recipe

Here is a personal favorite of mine (and Popeye’s).

It’s awesome in a pinch and way more nutritional than ordering a normal pizza – not to mention, it only takes 15-20 minutes to make, which is STILL faster than the beat up Civic dragging a blinking pizza sign could EVER get to your pad.

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. If your spinach and your pizza crust haven’t been thawed already – thaw them now. Take the pizza crust, once thawed, and place it onto a baking sheet.
2. Spread pesto onto the crust.
3. Spread the thawed spinach liberally over the crust. You might not use the whole bag, just discard the rest.
4. Crumble the goat cheese over the crust.
5. Cook the pizza into the oven for about 12-15 minutes. It is more than the crust packaging will say. Just keep an eye on the crust and make sure it doesnt burn.
6. Take out and let cool for a few minutes. Slice 6 ways and serve!

It makes 6 slices – but I generally eat half of the pizza. Don’t judge me!

Enjoy, dudes!
