Spinach Dip Pizza

I saw a recipe on Pinterest for spinach mascarpone dip. It looked delicious but I was feeling like pizza. So, I decided to combine the two. I added sausage, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes as the toppings.  It was delicious, very filling and made me feel healthier with all of the spinach :)



What You Need
Makes 2-3 servings

1 Pre-Made Pizza Dough (I get mine from Trader Joe's)
2 Chicken Sausages
1/4 cup Sun Dried Tomato
4 oz Sliced Mushrooms
6 oz Mozzarella Cheese

Spinach Dip
2 cups Shredded Spinach (you can use frozen or fresh)
4 oz Mascarpone
1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Crushed Garlic
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Nutmeg


What To Do

Step 1: Follow the directions for your pre-made pizza dough to prepare the dough.

Step 2: While the dough is cooking, heat the olive oil and garlic in a large pan. Add shredded spinach, cook until wilted. Remove as much access liquid from the spinach using a cheese cloth or dish rag. Place spinach back in pan. Turn heat to low and stir in mascarpone until fully melted. Add a pinch of nutmeg. Then add Parmesan cheese, stir until melted. Take off heat and set aside.
*If you are using frozen spinach, remove access liquid from the spinach prior to cooking.



Step 3: Cut sausage into 1/4 inch slices. Cook the sausage until golden brown.


Step 4: Top pre-baked pizza dough with spinach dip, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, sausage and cheese.


Step 5: Cook at 350° until the cheese has melted and starts to bubble (about 20 minutes). Enjoy!
