PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients
 

  • 1 large pizza crust, rolled out into a large square
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil; divided
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 ounce fresh mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • (1) 12 ounce package spicy sausage (veggie variety works too!), sliced into thin rounds
  • 1/2 cup plump sun dried tomatoes, roughly chopped, but not too small
  • 1 handful fresh arugula leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees (F).
  • Roll pizza dough out on a clean surface to desired shape.
  • Carefully transfer dough to a large, lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly around the center of the dough, keeping a 2" barrier from the edges.
  • Sprinkle with cheese, seasoning, and garlic. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over top the pizza; set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sliced sausage. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip rounds and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Use a slotted spatula to remove the sausage from the pan; transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Top pizza with sausage and sun dried tomatoes, and place in the oven to bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the crust in golden and the cheese has completely melted and begun to bubble and slightly brown.
  • Sprinkle pizza with arugula leaves.
  • Cut into 12 pieces and serve at once!
