Mushroom White Pizza
White pizza may seem restaurant-level fancy, but it’s surprisingly simple to prepare at home. For the base, mix ricotta and shredded mozzarella with garlic and oil. Add sautéed mushrooms for an ideal date night dish. This pizza is cooked in a grandma-style, spread out as a single family-sized serving on a baking sheet. Pair it with a side salad of arugula or romaine for a complete meal at home.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough,
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- ½ cup whole-milk ricotta
- 4 ounces (1 cup) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Recipe:
Preheat your oven to 450ºF and position the rack on the lowest level. Place the pizza dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and stretch it into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Bake until it becomes lightly golden, approximately 7 minutes.

While the dough is in the oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they achieve a golden colour, which should take about 12 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat, then mix in the parsley, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, along with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the prebaked crust, making sure to leave a 1-inch border. Next, arrange the cooked mushroom mixture on top.
Then put the pizza in the oven and bake until it turns golden, which will take around 12 minutes. Once done, slice it and serve.

Cauliflower Tartine With Romesco Sauce
This unique vegetarian sandwich features two variations of cauliflower: roasted and quick-pickled with shallots, garlic, and golden raisins. The key element is the flavorful and creamy Romesco sauce, made from jarred roasted red peppers, tomato paste, raw almonds, and other common pantry ingredients. While delicious, this open-faced sandwich is best enjoyed with a knife and fork due to its hearty components.
Ingredients
- ½ small cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, divided
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- ⅓ cup roasted unsalted almonds
- ⅓ cup roasted red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon canned tomato paste
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus more for serving
- 2 (1-inch-thick) sourdough bread slices, toasted
- flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems
Recipe:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. Take half of the cauliflower and thinly slice it while leaving the core intact. Set aside the other half of the cauliflower. Combine the cauliflower slices and raisins in a heat-safe bowl. In a saucepan, heat water, 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 smashed garlic clove, and ½ teaspoon of salt until it simmers over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and pour this mixture over the cauliflower slices and raisins in the bowl. Stir gently and let it pickle at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. After pickling, drain the liquid and either discard it or save it for another use.
- While the cauliflower is pickling, take the remaining half of the cauliflower and cut it into small florets. Spread these florets evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss them with 1 teaspoon of oil and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven until it becomes tender and develops a golden brown underside, which should take about 18 to 20 minutes. Stir the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time and then remove it from the oven.
- In a food processor, combine almonds, roasted bell peppers, tomato paste, black pepper, crushed red pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 smashed clove of garlic, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Process the mixture until it becomes mostly smooth, which should take about 1 minute, making sure to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Spread the sauce evenly over toasted bread slices, and then top them with the pickled cauliflower slices and roasted cauliflower florets. Garnish with parsley and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper.
