Skillet Sausage and Kale Pesto Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
– 1 cup kale, chopped
– 1 cup pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup pesto sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating your own Skillet Sausage and Kale Pesto Pizza is easy! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to fit your skillet. It should be slightly larger than the skillet diameter to allow for easy handling.
5. Add the Pesto: Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Layer the Ingredients: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage and kale mixture on top of the pesto. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over everything.
7. Cook in the Skillet: Heat the skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes to get it warm. Carefully transfer the pizza into the skillet.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Cool and Slice: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
