Green Pizza - 33g Carbs, 3g Fiber
From: From Eating Well September/October 2009
Why not use cooler-weather vegetables like broccoli and arugula as
an unconventional pizza topping? The arugula adds a slightly bitter,
peppery taste—for a milder flavor, use spinach instead. Serve with
wedges of fresh tomato tossed with vinegar, olive oil, basil and
freshly ground pepper.

Servings: 6
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
1 lb prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1/4 cup water
5 oz arugula, any tough stems removed, chopped (about 6 cups)
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup prepared pesto
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the
baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and
lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook broccoli and water in a large skillet over medium heat, covered, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in
arugula and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Season
with salt and pepper.
Spread pesto evenly over the crust, top with the broccoli mixture and
sprinkle with cheese. Bake until crispy and golden and the cheese is
melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
