Pizza Night!

College kids love pizza right? Yes we do! And since I have a lot of ricotta cheese and pizza dough (it was on sale last week - remember?) I decided to make a white pizza. I'm using a lot of the same ingredients to save money, but the way it's prepared it won't taste too similar.

What you'll need:
Pizza dough
Ricotta cheese
Shredded cheese
Basil
Broccoli

How to cook:
Spread out the pizza dough on the pan and sprinkle with basil. Bake for 3 minutes in a 400 degree oven.


While it's in the oven, bring a half cup of water to boil. I use frozen broccoli (that I previously stored from the farmer's market). And cook the broccoli for about 6 minutes. It's perfect timing because your crust will be in the oven for about 3 minutes and then it will cool for another 2 minutes. 

Then spread the ricotta cheese on the crust. You don't have to spread it all over the pie because it will soften while it cooks. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the pizza. And then add your broccoli to the top. (My roommate added banana peppers, too) 

Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. 



Once again, this recipe can be adapted to many different ingredient. I mean you can put anything on pizza. You don't have to go to crazy, but this is a really easy option for pizza night.
