Tonight I had intended to have the leftover rigatoni and meatballs for dinner and enjoy not having to cook. But for whatever reason, I was in the mood to prepare something this evening (probably because I didn't have to)! I had a small leftover ball of fresh pizza dough, 1/2 a container of fresh organic baby spinach and Roma tomatoes...so I decided to make a smaller thick crust "Chicago Style" pizza. The plus is I didn't have to spend as much time rolling out the dough to a thin circle. I quickly sauteed my spinach to get the liquid out, thinly sliced my Roma tomatoes and removed their seeds and then rolled the dough out to a small thick circle. I spread a little sauce, covered it with some mozzarella and Italian shredded cheese and scattered my cooked spinach and tomato slices and popped it in the oven. I must say...it was really good! We had one slice of spinach tomato pizza alongside a small portion of leftover rigatoni with a meatball on top...I know it sounds kind of weird...but sometimes weird is good! :-)
Check out my pizza & rigatoni with meatball combo below!

Spinach-Tomato Pizza -- I tried to convince my husband that the tomatoes kind of looked like pepperoni...just better for him...not sure he bought into that one. |
