Garlicky Kale and Ricotta Pizza
Description
The Garlicky Kale and Ricotta Pizza brings together sautéed kale seasoned with garlic and olive oil spread over a thinly brushed garlic oil pizza dough. The kale is gently cooked to wilt it without losing its structure, delivering a slightly chewy texture with a savory garlic note. Dollops of ricotta cheese add creamy pockets while shredded mozzarella melts evenly and forms browned edges during baking. The pizza is baked until the crust is golden and crisp, providing a contrast to the tender kale and creamy cheeses.
Serving this pizza warm allows the cheeses to be soft and the kale flavorful yet tender. It makes a fulfilling vegetarian meal that combines the earthiness of greens with the richness of dairy components. The crust is a foundation that balances the savory topping and offers a crisp bite.
The recipe note suggests adapting baking time and temperature to your pizza dough type, helping to achieve the right crust doneness. Using a high enough temperature ensures a nicely browned cheese top and baked-through crust without drying out the kale.
Ingredients
Garlicky Kale
- 1 Tbsp olive oil $0.13
- 1 clove garlic $0.08, minced
- 6 cups kale $0.50, torn leaves
Pizza
- 1 large pizza dough $0.32
- 1 Tbsp olive oil $0.13
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1 cup ricotta cheese $1.13, whole milk
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese $1.25, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF. If your kale is still on the stem, pull the leaves from the stems and tear them into 2-inch pieces. Rinse the kale well in a colander.
- Place the minced garlic and olive oil in a large pot and sauté over medium heat for about one minute, or just until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Add the kale and continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it has wilted. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Stretch your pizza dough (about 12-14") and place it on your pizza pan. In a small dish, combine the olive oil and garlic powder, then brush it onto the surface of the dough. Scatter the sautéed kale over the surface, then top with dollops of ricotta. Finally, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over top.
- Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust has browned, the cheese is melted, and the cheese has begun to brown on the edges. Slice the pizza into 8 pieces, and serve.
Notes
- Adjust baking time and temperature according to your pizza dough to achieve an ideal crust texture and even cooking.
