Pizza
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. There are many pizza recipes, and they bake it using various greens — celery, spinach, parsley. But you can also use arugula greens; for example, in the “Carpaccio” pizza recipe this green pairs very organically with the other ingredients. I’m sharing a step‑by‑step recipe. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
