In this pizza recipe, we are making that spinach artichoke combo shine by making a white pizza sauce with wilted spinach and topping it with cheese, and artichokes. This easy to make pizza will win over crowds and it is a great vegetarian dinner option. A key to a white pizza sauce is a roux. The combination of the flour and the butter is what will hold the sauce together while it bakes. If you were to use my Alfredo Sauce, for example, it wouldn’t hold up in the oven because it doesn’t start with a roux. The key, in my humble opinion, to a good roux is two fold. First, make sure to fully whisk together the butter and flour to start. If you don’t, your sauce will have a distinct flour taste. Second, add the liquid (milk and heavy cream here) slowly. You want the roux to slowly absorb the liquid and evenly distribute in it before you add more. Though, this isn’t something that should take you more than a minute or two. You can also use frozen artichoke hearts. Make sure to fully thaw them before you prepare them for the pizza.
