Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 5 ounces arugula, chopped

  • Salt to taste

  • Black pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup prepared basilpesto

  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • Use cooking spray to coat a large baking sheet and preheat an oven to 450°F.

  • Lightly flour a working surface and roll out the dough to the size of the baking sheet, then move to the baking sheet and bake until the dough is puffy and just crisped on the bottom. This will take 8-10 minutes.

  • While the dough is baking, cook the broccoli in water in a large, covered skillet over medium setting for 3 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Stir in the arugula for 1-2 minutes or until the arugula is wilted. Season the cooked vegetables with salt and pepper.

  • Evenly spread the pesto on the pizza crust followed by the broccoli mixture. Finally, spread the cheese over the top of the pizza and bake until the cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.
