Trending Recipe: Broccoli Rabe Pizza
Author: 
Recipe type: pizza
 
Ingredients
  • 1 dough ball that makes a 12-inch pizza
  • 6 ounces shredded whole milk mozzarella
  • 2 ounces shredded provolone
  • 4 to 5 ounces cleaned and trimmed broccoli rabe
  • 4 ounces fresh Italian sausage (pinched dime size pieces)
  • 3 ounces Alfredo sauce or béchamel (optional)
  • Pinch of crushed red peppers
  • Salt & pepper
  • Olive oil (for sauté)
  • Garlic oil (for finish)
  • 1 lemon wedge
Instructions
  1. Broccoli Rabe preparation: In a small size pot, bring water to boil.
  2. Blanch the broccoli rabe then pat dry before being sautéed.
  3. In a small size pan heat olive oil and lightly sauté the broccoli rabe for 1 minute.
  4. Salt and pepper the broccoli rabe and set aside. Broccoli rabe should be bright green and slightly firm.
  5. I prefer Alfredo sauce on this pizza. It really makes the pizza pop with flavor. Alfredo is a combination of butter, heavy cream and Parmesan.
  6. Shape and stretch your dough into a 12-inch circle.
  7. Add the provolone and mozzarella leaving a half-inch border.
  8. Add the hand-pinched sausage evenly over your pizza.
  9. Place pizza into the oven.
  10. Half way through the cook time place broccoli rabe on top of your pizza, then place pizza back into the oven.
  11. Take your pizza out of the oven when it is ready.
  12. Cut into six slices.
  13. Finish with a warm drizzle of Alfredo or béchamel sauce, crushed red pepper, garlic oil, and fresh lemon.
  14. Serve.
