Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 1 leek, sliced

  • 1 garlic clove, sliced

  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 5 ounces)

  • Coarse salt, to taste

  • 2 whole-wheat pitas

  • 4 tablespoons ricotta cheese

  • Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Directions

  • Prepare the Mushroom and Leek Topping: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden and tender. Season with coarse salt to taste.
  • Assemble the Pizza: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pitas on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of ricotta on each pita. Evenly distribute the mushroom and leek mixture over the ricotta. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with red-pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  • Bake the Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the pitas are crispy and the toppings are heated through.
  • Serve: Slice the Mushroom Leek Pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy it as a satisfying meal or pair it with a salad for a complete dish.
