Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the garlic by slicing the top off, drizzling with olive oil, wrapping in foil, and baking for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the fresh spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the cloves into a bowl and mash. Combine with ricotta, half of the mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the white sauce.
  4. Spread the creamy garlic-ricotta mixture over the pizza crust. Layer with sautéed spinach, remaining mozzarella, and crumbled feta.
  5. Bake the assembled pizza in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  6. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.
