Boy am I excited to share this post with you today! Have you ever roasted garlic? If you haven’t you NEED to change that. It is beyond easy to do. All you need is a head of garlic, some olive oil, and aluminum foil. Talk about easy peasy. It was the base for this delicious pizza and I’ll tell you what – I’ve now got this problem where I’m thinking up any and everything I can to use roasted garlic with. Not only does it taste amazing, it smells equally wonderful. What do you think. Would you try it?

This Rhodes post I’m loving simply for the fact that it’s crazy simple. You only need a handful of ingredient (most of which you probably have on hand). The only things I needed to run to the store for were frozen spinach (we usually only buy fresh) and ricotta. Now that I have some ricotta leftover you better believe I’m going to be making my One Pot Savory Turkey Meatballs (they are ridiculously amazing). Now excuse me while I go finish off the last slice of this pizza. I hope you’ll enjoy and be sure to click over to the blog to check out my post and get the full recipe!

The flavor of savory roasted garlic makes this pizza a sure favorite.

Ingredients

9 Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls or 6 Rhodes Texas Rolls thawed to room temperature
2-3 heads garlic
2-3 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup frozen spinach thawed, drained and moisture pressed out
red pepper flakes if desired

Instructions

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Combine rolls and roll into an 11x14 inch oval shape. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rest.
Peel papery outer covering away from garlic heads. Cut 1/4 inch off the top of each head to expose the tops. Drizzle each head with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Wrap each head in foil and bake in 400°F over 30-40 minutes or until garlic cloves are soft in the middle. Let cool enough to touch and press the cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Mash with a fork and add ricotta, salt, pepper and mix together.
Remove wrap from dough and move to sprayed baking sheet. Spread with ricotta mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese. Fluff spinach with a fork and sprinkle over cheese. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Bake at 425°F 15-20 minutes.
