Pizza! hold the red sauce

i am so sorry i have not been very good about posting this month. its a crazy month for us - wedding season has begun!!

the other night i made a perfect pizza - i do not like red sauces but i do love cheese and bread so i made up this delicious version of a sauceless pizza.

i got a whole wheat thin crust pizza crust from Harris Teeter

for the sauce:
in my mini food processor i added:
-olive oil twice around the container
-1 clove of garlic
-handful of frozen spinach
-crushed red pepper flakes
-shredded parmesan cheese, one handful
-touch of sea salt

then i grinded that in the mini food processor. once that was to the consistency i liked, i brushed it on the crust, leaving almost an inch around the edge.

then i added 4 thin slices of prosciutto

then i topped it with very generous portions of shredded mozzarella cheese.

i followed the instructions on the thin crust label - heated the oven to 450
degrees and once the oven was ready i turned it down to 425. i placed the pizza crust directly on the rack, in the middle of the oven. i put a baking sheet on the rack below it to catch any cheese or sauce that might drip.

it only took 8 minutes and it was incredible!!!

enjoy!! and please let me know any variations you might have for an alternative to the red sauce!
