I am excited to finally have my husband home for dinner tonight! Here is what we will be cooking up together!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 envelope pesto sauce mix
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 4 plum tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese

Directions

  • Unroll pizza crust into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Prick dough several items with a fork. Bake at 425° for 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, combine the water, oil and pesto sauce mix in a saucepan. Cook until heated through (do not boil). Add the spinach, ricotta and onion; mix well. Spread over crust.
