Ramekin Deep Dish Upside Down Pizza

America lives on pizza! It is adult Mac-n-Cheese and tops the comfort food charts. For those busy and tired nights, ordering a box from of pizza is so easy. And seriously, how many of us can stop at just one slice of pizza when there is a whole box of it. But then it is followed by the guilt. It is not the most healthy food out there but creative minds are never behind taking up that challenge. So I like to create a single serve, full of vegetables, whole wheat pizza. And no need to share it with anyone :) That nails down the deal after a great tasting recipe.

Ragú asked me to put a spin on a classic Ragu recipe (the deep dish down pizza), and this is what I came up with as the New Tra-Dish. I changed it to add lots of vegetables, less cheese, used whole wheat pizza dough and assemble it all in a ramekin. Gotta get the vegetables for the day. It is a pizza recipe so no limits to get creative. The trick to getting a great tasting pizza is in the sauce. I use Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce. It lives by its name. Each jar of Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce is made with 11 juicy tomatoes making it its richest and thickest recipe.

Recipe

 

2 ramekins, 6 oz each
whole wheat pizza dough
1 broccoli head, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup low fat mozzarella
3/4 cup Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce

• Preheat the oven at 400 deg F
• In a pan, heat a tablespoon of EVOO.
• Add garlic and onion to saute. Now add the remaining vegetables. Cook on high for 2-3 min so the vegetables are crisp.
• Remove from heat and add the sauce and cheese. Fold the mixture nicely.
• Fill in the ramekins up-to the top with the mixture.
• Roll out the pizza dough and cut to the size of the ramekin. Slightly bigger so that it rolls over the ramekin.
• Brush the top with EVOO and sprinkle some Parmesan.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy your single serve pizza in the ramekin or invert it upside down. Be good and honor portion control. Serve with a chilled pasta salad for a wholesome meal.
