Green Pizza!

This one is awesome!  It has broccoli and spinach on it.  Zack, my super picky eater, loves this one.  I'm not sure what it is about it, but I'm pretty sure he would eat an entire pizza by himself if I let him.  It's been very popular among friends as well.

Green Pizza

1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1/4 c water
5 ounces arugula (about 6 cups) again I use spinach because I have yet to find arugula in the stores by me.
   salt and pepper
1/2 c prepared pesto
1 c shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
 (Jon and I like to put a little bit of feta on there too)

Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450.  Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet.  Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook broccoli and water in a large skillet over medium heat, covered, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.  Stir in arugula (spinach) and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more.  Season with salt and pepper.

Spread pesto evenly over the crust, top with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle with cheese.  Bake until crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
