Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with nonstick spray or olive oil.
- Prepare Pesto: Toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat, then let cool. Combine walnuts, garlic, basil, and spinach in a food processor. Add Parmesan, olive oil, salt, and pepper; process until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare Pizza: Steam broccoli in a microwaveable dish with a lid for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool.

- Sprinkle 3/4 of the mozzarella over pesto. Distribute broccoli and artichokes evenly. Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle feta on top.
- Bake pizza for 25–35 minutes until crust is browned and cheese lightly golden. Let cool slightly, then cut and serve.
Notes
- Let pizza dough rest if it contracts when spreading to relax gluten.
