About this Recipe

Instead of tomato sauce, this pizza gets a luscious upgrade with a creamy white sauce infused with Parmigiano-Reggiano and garlic. Known as a white pizza—or pizza bianca in Italy—this pie is topped with shredded fontina before baking in Brava. Once cooked, it’s finished with a pile of fresh arugula tossed in olive oil and lemon. What’s not to love? Every bite is savory, creamy, and garlicky, balanced by fresh greens. Serve with more Parmigiano-Reggiano, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon wedges.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep garlic cream sauce

    • Add heavy cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and garlic to mixing bowl.
    • Tilt bowl slightly to the side to allow the liquid to pool in one area and whisk side to side for about 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens and becomes airy and lightly whipped in texture. Another way to tell it’s done is by scooping some of the sauce onto a spoon – when you turn the spoon upside down it should stick to the spoon.

  2. 2

    Prep pizza crust

    • Stretch pizza dough into rectangle or large oval to fit the Brava metal tray.
    • Evenly spread garlic cream sauce onto crust, leaving about ½ - inch uncovered around the edges.
    • Sprinkle shredded fontina cheese on top of garlic cream sauce.

  3. 3

    Cook pizza

    • Slide metal tray into bottom shelf.
    • Select “Creamy Garlic & Fontina Pizza with Lemony Greens” on your touchscreen and follow instructions.
    • Press green button to begin cooking.

  4. 4

    Finish and serve

    • While pizza cooks, in small bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, olive oil, and pinch of salt.
    • When food is done cooking, transfer pizza to cutting board.
    • Top pizza with arugula salad, and few pinches red pepper flakes. Finish with more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, if desired. Cut into triangles or squares and serve.
