A good way to sneak some spinach into a meal. I used homemade sausage (#49027) and homemade pizza sauce (#151379).

This is a great pizza..easy to make and so tasty. Have made it a couple of times now, a little different each time..I cooked the sausage meat, crumbled, on its own and put the other ingredients on fresh without cooking or mixing together. Added a bit of onion with the garlic and held back on the tomato sauce except for covering the crust..excellent! So thank you Nurse Di, I'm extremely happy to have this recipe!
