This pesto pizza with goat cheese, spinach and roasted tomatoes is the perfect summertime pizza!

A few weeks ago, I made up this recipe for 3-Cheese Pizza with Spinach and Roasted Tomatoes. I sort of combined two that I've made before, and this combination was a hit with the entire family.

A few weeks ago, I made up this recipe for 3-Cheese Pizza with Spinach and Roasted Tomatoes. I sort of combined two that I’ve made before, and this combination was a hit with the entire family. I used my favorite crust from Against the Grain, but you can use any pizza crust you want.

On top of that, I layered a few tablespoons store-bought pesto, leftover sautéed spinach from dinner the night before, oven-roasted tomatoes, slices of fresh mozzarella, crumbled goat cheese, shredded Parmesan and chopped fresh basil leaves.

Then I popped it into the oven and baked it for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees, until the cheese was nicely browned on top.

Doesn’t it look DIVINE!???

Of course, you can customize it to your liking, but the combination of the three cheeses, the sautéed spinach, the roasted tomatoes, savory pesto and fresh basil was a lovely combination — the perfect summertime pizza! It’s particularly delicious with a glass of white wine.
