Lunch: Sausage Arugula Pizza

Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Start with a prebaked thin-crust pizza as your foundation and let your fingers run wild for this recipe, piling on Italian sausage, red onion, roasted red pepper, baby arugula, ricotta and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

8 oz. sweet or hot Italian sausage
1/2 small red onion
4 c. baby arugula
1/2 c. roasted red pepper strips
3/4 c. part-skim ricotta
1 large prebaked thin pizza (we used Boboli)
1 tbsp. grated Parmesan

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 ºF. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off all but 2 tsp of the fat.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook tossing for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the arugula and roasted red pepper and toss to combine.
Spread 1/2 cup ricotta over the crust and top with the sausage mixture. Dollop with the remaining ricotta and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake, directly on the oven rack, until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.
