A frozen pizza night needs little more than a sharp oven and side of something green. This one has the protein already built in, so a simple salad or quick-sautéed greens finish the plate.

Cook mode

1. Heat the oven to 400°F [200°C] while you heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Slice 2 garlic cloves thin and add them to the oil, stirring until golden, about 1 minute.
2. Add 4 ounces of fresh spinach or arugula to the pan and toss with salt and pepper until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.3 min
3. Place the frozen pizza directly on the oven rack and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles at the edges, 15 to 18 minutes.17 min
4. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board, slice in half, and serve each half alongside the warm greens.

Note Swap the greens for a simple tomato salad dressed with oil and vinegar if you prefer something cold. Leftovers keep wrapped in the fridge for two days and reheat well in a 350°F [175°C] oven. A cold beer or sparkling water suits this meal well.
