Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons of  extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound of prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
8 ounces of ricotta cheese, about one cup
2 cups of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of grated pecorino romano cheese
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 scallions, with greens sliced, whites cut into one and a half-inch pieces
1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, mint, dill and/or basil
2 bunches of broccolini, halved lengthwise and roughly chopped

Directions

First position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Then place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet on the rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. After that cover another upside-down baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with two tablespoons of olive oil. Then put the pizza dough on the oiled paper and turn to coat. After that cover with another piece of parchment and set aside.

Next mix in a bowl the red pepper flakes, cheeses, and salt and pepper to taste. And in another bowl combine the scallion greens and herbs. After that toss the broccolini and scallion whites on a baking sheet with the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste and then roast 15 minutes.

Then uncover the dough and stretch it into a 12x16-inch rectangle. After that season with salt and pepper and then slide the dough and parchment onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Then bake it until golden, for 6-8 minutes.

After that slide the crust and parchment back onto the baking sheet and remove from the oven. Then top it with the cheese mixture, and then the roasted vegetables and herb mixture. After that return the pizza to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, for about three more minutes. In the end drizzle with olive oil. Enjoy.
