Craving pizza but want something lighter and packed with greens? This homemade white spinach pizza (no tomato sauce!) is garlicky, cheesy, and super easy to make. It’s a healthy twist on classic pizza, loaded with iron-rich spinach, creamy cheeses, and that irresistible crispy crust. Great for weeknights, date nights, or impressing friends!
Ingredients
For 1 large pizza, serves 3–4:
- 1 pizza dough (homemade or store-bought, about 300–400 g)
- 300 g (1 bag) Cabera Frozen Spinach, thawed with the excess water squeezed out
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 200 g mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
- 100–150 g ricotta or feta cheese (for creaminess and tang)
- Salt, black pepper, red chili flakes (to taste)
- Optional extras: fresh basil, parmesan, lemon zest, red onion slices
Method
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature (ideally 250°C/480°F) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside if possible.
- In a pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it!).
- Add spinach (in batches if needed) and cook 4–6 minutes until wilted and most moisture evaporates. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Set aside.
- Stretch or roll out your dough on a floured surface into a thin circle. Brush with a little olive oil.
- Spread the garlic-spinach mixture evenly. Dollop the ricotta or feta, then top generously with mozzarella.
- Bake 10–14 minutes until the crust is golden, the edges are crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Finish with fresh basil, extra chili flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and lemon zest for brightness. Slice and enjoy hot!
Tips: Cabera Frozen Spinach portions are great for convenience (no chopping!). This pizza is lighter than saucy versions but full of flavour. Pair it with a simple salad.
Bon appétit!
