Pizza pizza...

After my bad dinner experience yesterday, tonight had to be something that was fail-proof.  My fridge is stuffed with bags of spinach, swiss chard, romaine and red leaf lettuce, plus I have a drawer full of yellow summer squash.  So - after some careful thought, my sister and I decided to make a veggie pizza with some spinach and squash.  It was easy and delish!

Spinach & Summer Squash Pizza

1 fresh/pre-made pizza crust

2 small yellow squash, sliced

1 small bunch (~1 cup) spinach

marinara sauce

fresh mozzarella

Italian spices

--> Preheat oven to 375 F.  Roll out the pizza dough onto a pizza stone or aluminum pan sprayed with PAM.  

--> Separately, heat a sauté pan over medium heat.  Spray with PAM and then saute/grill the sliced squash for ~3 min per side, or until they brown up and start to soften.  After the squash is done, grill the spinach (or steam it)  for a few minutes so that you get the excess water out of the spinach.

--> Back to the pizza.  Layer the sauce onto the dough, followed by the sliced, fresh mozzarella, then squash and then spinach.  Sprinkle with your favorite Italian seasonings and then place in the oven for ~25 minutes (check every 10 minutes to see how the dough is browning).  Enjoy!
