Sunday night dinner... always a bit of a drag for me, sometimes its left overs but most often its something pretty easy.

But as I was on smith street with James, we were both brain storming what we'd have for dinner and what we needed from woolworths.
I've been trying to be good with using perishables that I have at home (see tommie chickpea and crab bisque) and I knew I had tomato puree, garlic, spinach and cheese at home so decided on a yummt pita bread pizza inspired by this awesome pizza I had in Williamsburg last month - it was so good I had it twice!
Shopping trolley:
4 cups baby spinach
garlic
tomato puree
mozzerella (or tasty cheese if you've already got it at home ;p)
80g ricotta
your favorite pita bread (or if your feeling snazzy make a pizza base)
small scoop marinated halved green olives
Preparation.
1. Blanch 4-5 whole, peeled garlic cloves in hot water for 5 minutes.
2 While the garlic is doing its magic, saute spinach in 1 tbs butter until almost reduced. Add halved garlic cloves and stir thorugh till combined and fragrant.
3. Use 2tbs tomato puree to coat pizza base.
4. Cover pizza with spinach mixture. Even garlic cloves out over pizza.
5. Lightly shave mozzerella over pizza (just a quarter cup is fine - and healthier!).
6. In clumps drop ricotta cheese over pizza and finish with olive halves.
7. Pop in the oven for 15 minutes, occassionally turning pizza so it doesnt burn.
Eat! - quarter and finish with salt and pepper.
You could even add some basil or some kind of sausage but I really don't think it needs it - it is so yummy!
