Spinach TBM Pizza

TMB= tomato, basil & mozzarella. Since it's feeling like summer here in gorgeous Charleston, I've been craving some fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. It's not quite tomato season locally, so I've been finding some really yummy ripe ones from Costco. I picked some up along with some fresh mozzarella and basil and whipped up this delicious pizza. Since the crust is nice and think, I also came up with this Papa Johns wanna-be dipping sauce and it turned out AMAZING!

What you'll need:
1 Ball Fresh Pizza Dough {purchased mine at Newton Farms, but you can get it any grocery store that sells fresh made pizza}
4 Small Cherry Tomatoes off of the vine, Sliced
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1/4 Cup Fresh Spinach, Whole
5 Leaves Fresh Basil, Sliced
3 Tablespoons Pasta Sauce {I use DiSalvo's of course!}
1 Dash Olive Oil
1 Ball Fresh Mozzarella, Sliced
Salt & Pepper to Taste

For Dipping Sauce:
1/2 Stick Butter
2 Cloves Minced Garlic

Preheat Oven to 500 Degrees.

Roll out pizza dough or stretch with your hands to form a pizza pan.

Drizzle with Olive Oil and rub into dough. Add two cloves minced garlic to dough and spread through out. Next, take pasta sauce and spread evenly through close to edges.

Sprinkle with fresh spinach leaves to cover. Slice tomatoes to cover evenly as shown below.

Add on top sliced basil and spread evenly. Then slice off fresh mozzarella and cover evenly.

Use fresh ground pepper and salt on top for flavor. Bake at 500 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Once pizza is finished, let sit for 5 minutes until cool.

For Dipping Sauce:
1/2 Stick Butter
2 Cloves Minced Garlic

In a microwave safe bowl add in 1 stick butter, 2 cloves of garlic- minced. Microwave for 40 seconds or until completely melted. Stir together & use to dip crust.
