SPINACH BROCCOLI ALFREDO PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the nutmeg and cream to the butter. Whisk to combine. Simmer until the cream is heated through.
• Turn the heat down to medium low. Add the Parmesan cheese. Stir occasionally until the cheese is melted. You do not want the heat too hot as it will cause the cheese to break and get lumpy.
• When melted, add salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should be rather thick, much thicker than a normal pasta sauce. Set aside.
• Prepare the pizza dough if not completed already. If following one of our recipes, follow instructions until the crust is par-baked (just barely cooked) and set aside.

• Spread out the alfredo sauce across the pizza to taste. The sauce should be pretty thick in texture.
• Spread the mozzarella out across the pizza, with more or less to taste.
• Spread your spinach, broccoli, and tomatoes (or vegetables of choice) over the pizza. Sprinkle with the fresh Parmesan.
• When the oven is finished preheating, transfer the pizza to your pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Cook until the cheese has started to turn brown, approximately 10-12 minutes (or to your desired doneness).
• Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle the fresh basil on top and some red pepper flakes if desired for an extra kick. Serve warm.
