This spinach and feta pizza is A delicious vegetarian pizza recipe. A party on your plate and super tasty.
There it is again! Fast food Friday. On Friday I post a delicious recipe that has something to do with fast food. It must be ready quickly, or the ultimate fast food. Such as pizza. With the famous Margarita pizza (which can be written in many different variations) as the best known variant. But with pizza you can do so much more. For example, think of the pizza with Parma ham, arugula and pine nuts, one of my favorite variants. But I still have a few more. For example this pizza with spinach, feta and pine nuts. Basically just a pizza with everything that I like as a topping deposited on it.
Homemade pizza
Do I always make the pizza bottom myself? Sometimes like the pizza with Parma ham, arugula and pine nuts I do. But I can also get away with a ready-made bottom. I always make my own sauce though. Because I just like the flavor that much better. I tried most variants from the supermarket, a sort of comparative commodity study, but THE pizza sauce was not included. And it is made so quickly that I actually always take the trouble.
For the topping, I chose spinach and feta this time (because I think that is also a wonderful combination and I used it multiple times as for example with the spanakopita). Because of the nutty flavor, pine nuts fit well with that. And of course some extra cherry tomatoes for the extra bite, I simply can't resist them.
All in all a delicious pizza. I think quite a lot healthier than the store bought variants.
