A delightful twist on a classic pizza, combining the rich flavors of pesto, artichokes, and spinach.
Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions.
Preheating ensures an evenly cooked crust.
Spread the basil pesto evenly over the pizza crust.
Use the back of a spoon for an even spread.
Layer the fresh spinach over the pesto.
Ensure the spinach is dry to avoid sogginess.
Distribute the marinated artichoke hearts and diced ripe tomatoes over the spinach.
Cut the artichokes and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses evenly over the toppings.
Mix the cheeses beforehand for a uniform flavor.
Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the cheese.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet for extra flavor.
Bake the pizza in the oven as per the crust instructions, typically around 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the pizza to prevent overcooking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Tear the basil leaves for a rustic look.
Slice the pizza and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious homemade creation!
Use a pizza cutter for clean slices.
