Health and fertility benefits of Three Cheese-and-Spinach Pizza Recipe | Myrecipes

Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 leek, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
5 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1/2 Basic Pizza Dough or 1 uncooked prepared pizza crust
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Kasseri or provolone cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 °. (For a crispy crust, preheat a pizza stone on the lowest rack in the oven.)
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in salt and pepper. Add spinach, in batches; cook 2 minutes or just until wilted.
Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush edges of crust with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture to edges of crust; top with cheeses and pine nuts, if desired.
If desired, transfer pizza to pizza stone dusted with cornmeal or semolina flour; bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly.
