Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · salad spinner (optional) · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mince the garlic and mix it with oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rinse the tomatoes, dry them, and halve them.
- Measure out 1 cup of ricotta.
- On a flat surface, lay the flatbreads. Spoon a bit of the garlic oil over each, add the halved tomatoes, and dollop ricotta in spoonfuls.
- Bake the flatbreads directly on the oven rack until the cheese melts, about 8–10 minutes, then broil for 1–2 minutes to finish.
- Wash and dry the arugula and basil; remove basil leaves from stems and cut into thin ribbons.
- Whisk together oil, vinegar, Dijon, salt, and pepper to make a light dressing for the salad.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and scatter the basil ribbons over the tops; cut into wedges.
- Toss the arugula with any remaining dressing and serve the pizzas with the salad on the side.
Two tips
- Make the garlic-oil mixture ahead by mixing the ingredients and storing in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- Leftover arugula and basil can be tossed with a spoonful of the dressing for a quick side salad.
