Spinach Artichoke Pizza Recipe

Written by Becky

I have a little something to tell you…. nothing big, well pretty big actually, big enough to keep us so busy that we’ve been eating quick and easy meals like pizza or eggs. Simple meals, comforting and without too much mess. This spinach artichoke pizza does the job just perfectly. So here’s the news … Josh and I are writing a book together. We’ve been asked by a publisher out of Connecticut to write a book about the Salt Lake dining scene and feature local chef’s along with a recipe from each chef. It’s been a blast so far but if things have been a little quiet around here now you know why.

But it’s Spring and though I have a million things to do, and most of our meals are being enjoyed outside of the home, I just can’t help but want to steam fresh artichokes, shell peas, and plant herbs. So, I took a second this weekend, and made some pizza, a pretty simple and satisfying dinner that I could make with my own hands and chose exactly what I wanted to put on it.

Artichokes are such a fun part of spring! We mostly enjoy steaming them and eating them fresh, dipped in butter, but on a more rare occasion we’ll throw them in with pasta or on top of pizza.

  1. Excited for you and Josh, Becky! And thanks for sharing this recipe! I really want to try a gluten free crust soon- do you have any recommendations for brands you can find at grocery stores?

    • There’s a cup for cup gluten free flour that you can use. I make cauliflower pizza crust sometimes (I forget- have you tried that yet?!). Also, Lindsay from Cafe Johnsonia is posting gluten free pizza tomorrow. Here’s her site – http://cafejohnsonia.com

  2. That is such exciting news. I have a shirt-tail relative that has a condo in Salt Lake. Maybe your book will be published by the time I plan a trip!!!! (Love the pizza btw!)
