This week’s recipe for Craving Ellie in My Belly is one of my long-term favorites. I’ve been making this version and the Cooking Light version for quite some time. If you are the Meat Lovers Pizza Person in your family, you won’t find that here. However, I dare you to give this a try and not like the blend of flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 cups arugula, washed, dried and coarsely chopped (You can substitute spinach. The arugula gives it a peppery bite, however.)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 whole-wheat tortillas, 6-inches in diameter (You can also make your own precooked whole wheat crust or purchase a premade whole wheat crust.)
- 2 ounces reduced-fat goat cheese
- I sometimes toss on 1/4 cup (approx.) toasted walnuts. Try it! You may be pleasantly surprised.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the oil and onions in a medium skillet and cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium and add the arugula. Cook until the arugula is wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and top each with some of the arugula/onion mixture. Crumble some goat cheese on top of each, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes and cut each pizza into 4 triangles.

Looks like a great recipe!
I hadn’t thought about substituting arugula for spinach. My husband is allergic to spinach (as much as he loves it!) and I wonder if arugula would work in a variety of recipes?

We love arugula so I know we’d like this pizza. I haven’t seen low-fat goat cheese. I’ll keep my eye out for it.

Your lovely salad would be a great accompaniment to the recipe I just posted. It looks like a delight.
Looks super. The walnut idea…terrific!
This is such a keeper for me! I am going to make it for lunch again tomorrow, when a friend comes over for a play date. Loved it.

This was pretty good. Only change I made was to use mozzarella instead.
Yours looks tasty.
