Sandwich - Spinach, Red Onion + Cheese Pizza

1 homemade or store-bought pizza crust
1-1/2 cups loose-leaf, dry-pack frozen spinach
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1-1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
2-3 drops hot pepper sauce
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large baking
sheet or pizza pan with nonstick spray. Lightly sprinkle
with cornmeal, if desired. Set aside.

If making the crust, transfer the dough to the pan.
Stretch and shape the dough by hand and/or with rolling
pin into a 12 or 13 inch circle or 11 by 14 inch rectangle.
If using store-bought crust, place it on the pan.

Place the spinach and red onion in a small microwave-safe bowl,
cover with wax paper and microwave on defrost power for 2 to 3
minutes, or until the spinach is thawed and the onion is softened.

Place the ricotta in a small bowl and stir in the spinach
mixture, Italian seasoning, garlic, and hot pepper sauce.
Spread the ricotta mixture onto the pizza dough.
Sprinkle with the feta and Parmesan cheeses.

For homemade crust, bake for 15 to 17 minutes on
center oven rack or until crust is lightly browned.

For store-bought crust, bake according to package directions.
Cut into 9 rectangles or wedges and serve.
Yield: 9 servings
