10 oz frozen chopped spinach

Steps
1
If you have a pizza stone, place it on middle oven rack. Preheat oven to 400°.
2
In a 9-inch non-stick cake pan or cast iron skillet, press room temperature dough evenly along bottom and up sides of pan. If the dough springs back, leave it for a few minutes to rest and try again.
3
In a nonstick skillet over high heat, cook sausage meat until brown and crumbly. Add frozen spinach and crushed garlic and cook until all moisture has evaporated.
4
Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture into dough-lined pan. Sprinkle over mozzarella and then spread with pizza sauce. Place basil leaves decoratively on top of pizza and sprinkle with parmesan.
5
Place pan on pizza stone and bake for 40 to 45 min., or until browned and bubbling.
6
Allow to sit for 10 min. before serving.
