Living in Maine, we don’t have CiCi’s and my husband hears me whine whenever we see a commercial. I’m not sure why it took me so long to hunt out a recipe. Usually, it’s my first instinct to copy something. When my mom and niece were visiting I decided to try this out since my husband would never eat spinach or Alfredo sauce! I popped the pizza in the oven and prayed that it tasted half as good as CiCi’s. After taking a bite I knew I had nailed it and then my niece commented that she thought it was better. We had some more the next day and it was just as good. Now, I crave that pizza and it’s only been a week! It’s going to be dangerous trying to convince myself that the spinach outweighs the Alfredo, but it’s just so good. What makes this recipe work is the Alfredo sauce. It’s a nice, mild sauce that doesn’t overwhelm like many white pizza sauces do. Go ahead, eat your spinach!
Spinach Alfredo Pizza
Ingredients
1/2 package frozen spinach, thawed, water squeezed out
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 recipe Alfredo Sauce (below)
1 pizza crust, unbaked
Lay the pizza crust out on a stone or flat baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of the Alfredo sauce on the dough, then top with as much spinach as you’d like. Finish off by sprinkling on the cheese and bake until the cheese is bubbling and just starting to brown, 12 – 15 minutes.
