Roasted Vegetable and Ricotta Pizza
Roasted Vegetable and Ricotta Pizza
My go to dinner- pizza. Not the regular take out variety (though we do love a good pie), but homemade pizza with all sorts of toppings. We make pizzas at least 2x per week, varying the crusts, vegetables and cheeses. This recipe can include many of your produce items all at once…especially if you are in need of cleaning out your fridge!
INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb. pizza dough (refrigerated fresh) or freshly made
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup zucchini (slices)
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced) and/or 1 red onion (sliced) and/or 1 bunch of roasted asparagus tips and pieces.
• 5 1/2 tsps. olive oil (divided)
• 1 tbsp. yellow cornmeal
• 1/3 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 1/3 cup part skim ricotta cheese
• 2 tbsp. basil leaves (fresh)
DIRECTIONS
Position an oven rack in the middle to lowest setting. Preheat oven to 500°.
Remove dough from refrigerator. Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes.
Combine mushrooms and next 4 ingredients (through onion) in a large bowl; drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Toss. Arrange vegetables on a sheet pan. Bake at 500° for 15 minutes while your dough is coming to room temperature.
Punch dough down. Sprinkle a lightly floured large baking sheet or countertop with cornmeal; roll dough out to 15-inch circle and transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush dough with 1 teaspoon oil. Spread sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella over sauce; top with vegetables. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and red pepper over vegetable mixture. Dollop with ricotta. Slide pizza onto preheated pizza stone. Lower temperature of oven to 450 degrees and bake 11 minutes or until crust is golden. Sprinkle with basil.

5 Great Uses for Iceberg Lettuce
5 Great Uses for Iceberg Lettuce
While Iceberg might not be consider a “leafy green full of antioxidants”, it is still a wonderful vegetable prized for its crisp texture. Sturdy with a surprising delicate flavor, this lettuce adds a nice crunch to many meals. Organically grown and harvested Iceberg has that certain nostalgia that we sometimes crave. These 5 ideas will certainly provide meal ideas for your upcoming week while bringing back some fun memories.
Taco Night
Shredded iceberg lettuce adds texture to any kind of taco and is a good way to get some fiber into your kids. Try carnitas tacos, fish tacos or taco salad.)
The Iceberg Wedge
Reacquaint yourself with the classic appetizer of a wedge of iceberg drizzled with blue cheese dressing. Even better with chopped bacon bits and/or chopped hardboiled egg sprinkled on it. Don’t forget- Caesar salad, a classic, made with Iceberg Lettuce.
The Club Sandwich
Make yourself an old fashioned club sandwich. (In general, there is probably no sandwich that wouldn’t benefit from a layer of iceberg.) Another classic- the BLT!
Forget The Bread
Substitute two sturdy slices of it for the bread in any sandwich you like. It can even be an excellent burger bun. And of course you can use it as a wrap, too, for just about any sandwich-chipotle chicken, chicken fajita, curry chicken, chicken with nuts, steak and avocado…the options are endless.
Stir Fried Dishes
Thinly-sliced strips of iceberg lettuce are an ingredient in several classic Chinese stir-fry recipes, but you can toss it into your weeknight stir-fried dishes, too. Similar to cabbage, it’ll hold up well and fast cooking will help keep its structure.
