Ingredients

  • ½ a can of Cannellini Beans
  • 1 lb of Broccoli
  • 4 Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 container (1 crust ea.), Pizza Crust
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 tsp, Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp, Dried Basil
  • 1/2 tsp, ground, Oregano, dried
  • 1/2 tsp, Salt
  • 1/4 tsp, Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp, Unsalted Butter
  • 4 oz ⅓ less fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Original Almond Milk
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees 
  2. To make the base sauce for our pizza, combine the milk, garlic and cannellini beans in a food processor and blend until smooth. 
  3. In a saucepan, add your butter, cream cheese, and bean mix, and all of your spices, plus salt & pepper. Heat over medium heat until all the cream cheese has melted, leaving behind a creamy white sauce. This sauce will be salty but don’t worry, you will need that salty element to flavor your broccoli which we leave unseasoned.
  4. Chop and steam your broccoli for 8 minutes, until it has begun to get tender but still has a bit.Shred your cheddar.
  5. Stretch your pizza dough onto a pizza pan or a sheet pan.
  6. Spread the herb sauce over the dough, then sprinkle the broccoli over the sauce. 
  7. Top that with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake in the oven for 14-18  minutes, or until the crust is brown and the cheddar is melted. I like to also broil at the end until the cheese is brown, because that’s my preference
