For some time now I have been a fan of the recipes in Real Simple and this one for a White Pizza with Artichokes, Rosemary, and Olives is delicious and so simple. Try it- you will see sauceless pizza in a whole new light!

Ingredients

• 4  tablespoons  olive oil
• all-purpose flour, for the work surface
• 1  pound  pizza dough, at room temperature
• 8  ounces  ricotta
• 8  ounces  marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1/3  cup  pitted green olives, halved
• 1/2  small  red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2  cup  grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
• 1  tablespoon  fresh rosemary leaves
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 4  cups  mixed greens (about 3 ounces)
• 1  tablespoon  fresh lemon juice

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425° F. Brush 2 large baking sheets with 2 tablespoons of the oil. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into four 8-inch rounds. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
2. Dividing evenly, top the dough rounds with the ricotta, artichokes, olives, onion, Parmesan, rosemary, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
3. Bake the pizzas, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the crust is golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the greens with the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve the pizzas with the salad.
