Sometimes, I just get a craving for pizza. I won’t lie, sometimes that craving is for pizza covered in greasy cheese. I won’t like again when I tell you that sometimes I indulge in the greasy cheese pizza.
But most often, I don’t. Sometimes, It’s worth the stomach ache. Most of the time, it’s not.
I can still have my pizza though. Just not covered in cheese. And it’s still amazingly delicious.

This pizza was amazing! In all of it’s mushroomy garlicy spinachy goodness.
Want the recipe? Of course you do.
Spinach Mushroom Pizza
One pizza crust of your choice, pre baked. I used Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza crust. It’s amazing.
12 oz. mushrooms, cleaned and sliced.
3 cups baby spinach
1 can cannellini beans
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup water
2 T oil
1 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
2 green onions
Puree the beans, water, one clove of garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and onions together until smooth.
Sautee the mushrooms with the other clove of garlic in a little oil for 3-5 minutes, until they start to get soft. Put in a bowl, then sauté the spinach. You could just cook them together, but I’m super OCD and I like placing them on my pizza separately.
Spread the bean puree onto your crust, leaving about an inch around the edges. Spread the the mushrooms, garlic, and spinach on top.
Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. You really just need to warm it up because the crust is already cooked.
This pizza is definitly one of my favorites. It’s a fun change from the marinara sauce type pizzas, and the beans and spinach are a great source of protein! And I just love things that are super garlicy. I really like garlic. Beware vampires, lol.
On a completely unrelated note, has anyone tried these??
They are soooooooo good. Probably the best candy I’ve ever eaten. Ever. They make butterfingers crisps too, but the crunch ones are so much better. I can’t stop eating them.
What’s your favorite kind of candy? Do you ever get in a pizza mood?
love those pizza toppings!!
That pizza qualifies for health food, for sure – and it looks awesomely delicious! Mushrooms and spinach are best friends in my household.
I love that you put beans in place of cheese on this pizza! Very clever. Luckily, when I have a pizza craving I have a pizza place right down the street that only serves organic produce and meats and they even have a lot of gf and vegan pizzas to chose from. It’s pretty awesome.
Oh my gosh, what an incredible pizza recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love using cannelinni beans in place of cheese in lasagnas and with pasta for a lasagna-taste. Now, if only I had some cannelinni beans…….
That does look good! I am definitely bookmarking it.
I haven’t seen those Crunch crisps in the store. They sound like a British candy. I’ll look out for those next time I go shopping.
perfect pizza toppings
That pizza recipe sounds so good! I want to try it now!
