Broccoli & Sausage Skillet Pizza
Simple Green Salad with Citronette
Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped peeled broccoli stems plus 1 cup bite-size broccoli florets (about 4 oz total), divided
- ¼ cup fresh basil
- ¼ cup toasted walnuts
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest, reserved
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 oz Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1 lb whole-wheat pizza dough
- 4 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into pieces
- 12 grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Combine broccoli stems, basil, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice and salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add oil and process to combine.
- Cook sausage in a small skillet over medium-low heat, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, roll and stretch pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared pan, pressing the dough 1 inch up the sides. Spread the dough with the pesto and sprinkle with the sausage, broccoli florets, lemon zest, mozzarella, tomatoes, Parmesan and pepper.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
