Sausage Alfredo Pizza | Creamy Family Dinner Recipe
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove pizza dough from the refrigerator to rest for 15 minutes before using.
- In a skillet, brown sausage over medium heat, breaking up into chunks with a spoon. As it cooks add diced shallots and garlic. When almost fully cooked, toss in fresh arugula to gently wilt. Remove from heat. Set aside.
- Dust a flat work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Do not overwork dough. You can use your hands to pull and stretch the dough as well. Place dough on a pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray.
- Smear 1/3 cup of Alfredo sauce over the dough to cover. Arrange 8 mozzarella slices evenly over the sauce. Add the cooked sausage mixture to the pizza. Sprinkle with sliced shallot rings.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the pizza is bubbly, the crust is well-browned, and the bottom is crisp.
- Serve pizza drizzled with extra Alfredo sauce cut into slices and enjoy.
- OPTIONAL: While pizza is cooking, fry an egg sunny-side up. When pizza comes out of the oven, top with fried egg sprinkled with salt and black pepper.
