of the chopped garlic to the hot pan. Sauté until fragrant,
and then add the tomatoes. When tomatoes just begin to soften, stir in
the arugula, about ¼ cup at a time. Cook until the arugula is wilted;
remove and reserve.
5. In a medium bowl, mix the strained ricotta, Parmesan, remaining garlic,
salt and pepper until well combined. Reserve.
6. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the partially baked pizza dough.
Top the ricotta with the arugula mixture and then finish with the
prosciutto. Carefully slide the pan into the lower position. Bake in
preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is
golden and crisp and the cheeses start to bubble and brown on top.
7. Remove the pizza from the oven. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
