Spinach-Pesto White Pizza
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 6 slices.
When my kids were really small, they were reluctant to eat their veggies and I had to get creative. I figured that because pesto is already green, it would be the perfect place for some spinach. The pizza was a big hit. —Janet Burbach, North Platte, Nebraska
