– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Creating this delectable Artichoke Pizza with Spinach Parmesan Cream Sauce is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Pizza Crust: If using a pre-made crust, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If making a homemade crust, roll it out to your desired thickness.
3. Sauté the Spinach and Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Make the Cream Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Add Artichokes: Fold the chopped artichokes into the spinach mixture, then pour in the creamy sauce. Stir to combine.
6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sauce mixture evenly over the prepared pizza crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool and Slice: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice it into wedges.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for added heat before serving.
By following these steps, you will create a truly incredible Artichoke Pizza with Spinach Parmesan Cream Sauce that will impress everyone at your table!
