Peach and Bacon White Pizza with Ricotta
One pan ham and penne dish
Simple and filling pasta dish, using only one pan, which means quick clean up!
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic clove, finely minced grated
1 tsp. dried Italian herb
1/2 tsp. galic salt
1 lb. pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
flour for rolling out dough
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
6 slices of Woodbridge bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
fresh basil for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 500°F and place a pizza stone on the middle rack. If you don’t have a pizza stone, place a lightly oiled baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
While the oven preheats, mix together the olive oil, garlic, dried herbs, and garlic salt.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough to desired shape and thickness. Evenly spread the olive oil mixture all over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly all over the crust. Dollop the ricotta over top.
Layer on sliced peaches, arranging them so they are evenly covering the cheese. Top with the crumbled bacon and the grated parmesan cheese. Season everything with a little salt and pepper.
Carefully transfer the pizza from the pizza peel onto the hot pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking on the pizza around 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp on the bottom and around the edges and the toppings are melted and gooey.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple minutes, and then garnish with basil and slice.
Enjoy!
