Spicy Tuscan Kale and Ricotta Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

1 bunch medium Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves cut into 1” strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Grandma-Style Pizza Dough (click for recipe)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup fresh ricotta
2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
Crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

Toss kale with oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Massage dressing into kale with your fingers and let sit at room temperature 2 hours to soften (this will keep kale from getting too crispy when baked).

Top dough with mozzarella, dot with ricotta, and top with kale and Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and crisp on bottom and sides.

Serve topped with red pepper flakes.
