Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat large saucepan over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add spinach; stir. Cook 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and mixture is fairly dry, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese in small bowl until blended; set aside. Place crust on baking sheet; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over crust; top with spinach mixture. Spoon cheese mixture evenly over pizza. (Spinach will not be covered completely.)

Bake 15 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown. Cut into 8 slices to serve.

COOK'S TIPS:
Substitute 1 can (10 oz) refrigerated pizza crust for the prepared pizza crust. Unroll dough on baking sheet; press into 12-inch circle. Top with ingredients as directed, then bake at 425°F 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Substitute 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained, for the fresh spinach. Cook with onion until liquid is evaporated.
