Pizza! Pizza! – 4 WW PTS
Hubby and I like to make pizza every once and a while. This flavor combo is one of our favorites. I am lactose intolerant, so this pizza only has goat cheese on it.
Trader Joe’s has some great pre-made pizza doughs. They have plain, garlic & herb, and whole wheat. We like to get the whole wheat dough, although hubby thinks it needs some more flavor…
Chicken Sausage, Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, Goat Cheese Pizza (4 WW PTS)
8 servings – from ME!
2 chicken sausages – sliced – we used the Trader Joe’s Sun Dried Tomato chicken sausage3 cups spinach – chopped
1/2 pkg sun dried tomatoes (NOT in oil) – chopped
~3 oz goat cheese (crumbled)
small amount of milk – used Silk Light Vanilla soymilkPizza dough – used Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza dough
Follow directions for pizza dough and cook the dough by itself. Poke holes in the dough if you don’t like the bubbles.
While dough is cooking, melt ~2 oz goat cheese and a small amount of milk until chese is melted.
When dough is done, remove from oven and pour melted cheese over pizza. Top with spinach, tomatoes, and sausage. Cook in oven for another few minutes to heat the meat.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on pizza and heat a few more minutes.

This combines 2 of my husband’s loves – shrimp and cilantro! Love the ice cube trick too!
Yum, I love shrimp! Hadn’t thought to flavor it with pesto. Warm crusty bread would be yummy with it!

OH WOW so simple and so beautiful! I need to make myself some pesto cubes for moments like these 🙂
What a delicious and easy dinner! I’m lucky if I’m home by 8:30, so I completely understand needing quick recipes! I’ll have to try the frozen pesto trick.
i just made my first batch of ice cube pesto from our basil forest. neil panics every time i make pesto. he needs verification that i have not used up too much basil. if i use 10% of what is in the garden, then we are in the safety zone. let it grow back, use another 10%. at the end of the season, we will have 9000 cubes of pesto in the freezer and neil will be happy. totally jealous of your new stove, btw. i want a griddle!
I love the frozen pesto concept! I have a lot of basil, but there are only two of us in my house and we can only eat so much. I will have to try this. The shrimp looks great.
this looks great, and it really can’t get much easier
Hi there! Love this idea. Great job!
I was wondering where I can find pesto? Also, do you have any ideas for sides that would be good with this? I’m not familiar with pesto’s flavor and I want to surprise my husband with something 🙂 Thanks!
Jori – I make my own pesto using this recipe.
