Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spinach

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Spread the Sauce

    Evenly spread the salsa di pomodoro over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Meatballs

    Slice the meatballs in half and place them evenly over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Ricotta and Mozzarella

    Dollop seasoned ricotta cheese over the meatballs and then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Top with Spinach and Parsley

    Distribute the sautéed spinach over the cheese layer and sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley.

  7. 7

    Finish with Grana Padano

    Grate the grana padano cheese over the top of the pizza.

  8. 8

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve hot.
