Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the roasted garlic cloves. Add ricotta, half of the mozzarella, oregano, and salt/pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture over the pizza crust. Layer with sautéed spinach and top with remaining mozzarella and feta. Dust with red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C). Bake the assembled pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven, cool for a few moments, and garnish with fresh basil before slicing.
