Rao's pizza topped with three cheeses
Start with a good frozen pizza crust and make it dinner by adding two more cheeses and roasting vegetables. The mozzarella is there; you layer in ricotta and parmesan for depth and a short stint in a hot oven. Weeknight comfort that tastes like you tried.

To buy
- 1/2 cup [115 grams] ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup [25 grams], grated parmesan cheese
From your shelf
- 1 brick oven crust fire roasted vegetable pizza
Staples
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat your oven to 425°F [220°C]. Set the frozen Rao's pizza on a baking sheet.
- Dollop 1/2 cup ricotta across the top in four or five spoonfuls, leaving the edges of the crust clear. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated parmesan over and around it, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles at the edges, about 18 minutes. While it cooks, set the table or pour a drink.
- Let it rest for a minute, then slide onto a cutting board and slice in half to serve.
Note Swap the ricotta for burrata or fresh mozzarella torn over in the last two minutes of baking. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F [175°C] oven for five minutes. Serve with a green salad or roasted broccoli on the side if you want to stretch it further.
