The other night my roommate got a craving for pizza, but did not want to spend the time ordering and waiting for it to be delivered. Her boyfriend, being a chef, knew that he could make something healthier, more delicious and much faster than any pizzeria. What he came up with was amazing.
We have a small, cute convenient store by us, so he walked over and grabbed a few ingredients. On the shopping list? Pita bread, fresh mozzarella, mascarpone cheese, cherry tomatoes (but any type could work), spinach, arugula and of course garlic. Can't forget fresh garlic when it comes to cooking. Makes a HUGE difference in my opinion.
Once he got back to the house, he went to the kitchen and got straight to work. He preheated the oven. As that was heating up, he began assembling the pizza. He took the pita bread out of the package, spread mascarpone cheese (a substitute for sauce), sprinkled mozzarella cheese, placed arugula, spinach & tomatoes on top. He finished the entire thing this a drizzle of olive oil, fresh garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Placed it in the oven for 20 minutes. What came out was a masterpiece.
Here is the recipe for what he calls, "Pita Pizza"-
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Spread mascarpone cheese on the pita bread
3. Sprinkle mozzarella and fresh garlic on top of the mascarpone
4. Scatter arugula, spinach and tomatoes on top of the mozzarella
5. Finish it off with a drizzle of olive oil and cracked black pepper
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes
You will be in heaven with the first bite
xoxo
