Spinach-Pesto White Pizza image

When my kids were really small, they were reluctant to eat their veggies and I had to get creative. I figured that because pesto is already green, it would be the perfect place for some spinach. The pizza was a big hit. -Janet Burbach, North Platte, Nebraska

The pizza was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I'm not usually a fan of white pizza, but this one changed my mind. The spinach pesto adds a vibrant flavor that I've never experienced before.

This spinach pesto white pizza is a delightful explosion of flavors! The creamy and tangy homemade pesto, combined with the crunch of the pine nuts, perfectly complements the delicate taste of the spinach and the gooey mozzarella.
