Ingredients

• 1

  pizza crust, rolled in to a rectangle*

• 3/4 cup

  ricotta cheese

• 2 teaspoons

  Tuscan Seasoning, or Italian Seasoning

• 1/2 pound

  ground sausage, browned

• 1/2 cup

  chopped pepperoni

• 1 cup

  fresh, chopped spinach

• 3/4 cup

  marinara sauce + 1 cup for dipping

• 1 cup

  shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 400-degrees. Roll out your crust in to a rectangle shape. Smooth the ricotta cheese down the center with a spatula or flat knife (see pictures).

Sprinkle the Tuscan or Italian Seasoning over the ricotta. Add the sausage and pepperoni down the center as well, be careful not to get any on the edges of the dough (the grease will make it hard to close up the dough). Top with the chopped spinach and mozzarella.

Wash any grease off your hands before touching the edge of the crust. Now fold each edge of the crust over the toppings, and pinch together in a seam. Do the ends as well.

Bake at 400-degrees for 16-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on the counter for 5 minutes before slicing. Carefully slice the “seam” as to not break it apart. Serve with warmed marinara for dipping. Enjoy!
