I thought I would share a recipe I tried today. I was told by my friend Donna that I should start including recipes on this thing. This...my friends...is a winner. Normally when I decide to cook, it never is anything that is simple to make, nor does it have any less that 34 ingredients that require 8 different cooking methods to concoct.

This, however, was a complete breeze, and only uses 9 simple ingredients. Try it out sometime, it's REALLY delicious!

Breezy Florentine Pizza

1 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves of garlic
1/2 pkg fresh sliced portabella mushrooms
1/2 pkg fresh spinach leaves
3 tsp of fresh oregano

1 small chopped banana pepper

1 small chopped mild jalapeno pepper

1/2 pkg of crumbled goat cheese

1 Boboli pizza crust (the thin crust one- it's crunchier)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat a skillet on medium heat (I used a wok and it worked superb). Add oil until heated and add the garlic until slightly brown. Add the sliced mushrooms and saute until softened (approx. 4 minutes). Add the spinach and oregano and cook until the spinach is fully wilted (approx. 1-2 minutes). Add the banana and jalapeno peppers and sautee for about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat.

Brush the pizza crust with olive oil, and spread 2/3 of the package of crumbled goat cheese on the crust. Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture over the goat cheese, and top with the remaining 1/3 pkg of the goat cheese. Place the pizza in the oven (middle rack) and back for 10 minutes until cheese starts to brown. You may wish to add a couple of tablespoons peccorino/romano grated cheese to the top of the pizza after cooking for 5 minutes.

Remove pizza and slice.
