spinach cream sauce

1. Combine heavy cream and garlic clove in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper; bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring every so often, until reduced by half (3/4 cup or less).
2. Fish out and discard garlic clove. Toss in spinach and cook about 3 minutes, or until wilted. Stir in parmesan and cream cheese, cook until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if needed. Let cool.

artichoke pizza

1. Place pizza steel or stone in the middle of your oven and preheat to 500°F. Let stone heat up for a full 45 minutes. Generously flour a pizza peel and set aside.
2. On a floured surface, flatten the middle of the dough ball into a large disk, leaving a thick 1-inch lip. Pick up the disk, and holding the thick edge, use gravity to shape the dough into a 12-inch circle. Lay on prepared pizza peel and adjust shape into a circle. Jiggle the peel to make sure the dough isn’t sticking (add more flour if it is).
3. Spread pizza dough with spinach cream sauce (you may not need all of it), leaving 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle surface with mozzarella and parmesan then scatter artichoke hearts over top.
4. Slide pizza onto steel and bake for 5 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 2- 4 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is charred in spots.
5. Let pizza cool slightly, then slice and serve.
