Spinach and Ricotta Pizza (Cooking Light)
"Delicious! Made this the other night to use up leftover spinach and ricotta that was in the fridge...we devoured it! We used a store bought pizza crust but I can only imagine homemade would rival any restaurant offering. Never thought of putting ricotta on a pizza, but try it...very rich and satisfying. We did grate more Parmesan Cheese over the slices before eating...yum! The New York Style Pizza Sauce is also posted on this website..easy and delicious!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, with a DH; we have 2 "grown" children that still like to hang out with us and the world's most perfect grandson! We are blessed.
Love to read, garden and entertain, and am always on the lookout for new recipes.
I found this website by accident , needless to say it has become the website of choice to locate recipes. Now if I only had time to cook all the recipes I am saving!
I mainly review only the recipes my family and I enjoy. I have decided not to post negative reviews anymore as tastes are subjective. When it comes to cooking, my pet peeve is recipes that are rated poorly when the reviewer has made several changes to the original submission.
