Arugula PIzza


i love greens on pizza, so i ordered my share on freshdirect (online grocer in NYC) and planned out pizza pie night. i was to have a nice tomato basil basil with a sprinkle of fresh mozzarella then once out the oven slather on the fresh arugula - keeping all nutrients in tact. josh was to have his regular "josh and candice original" consisting of tomato basil base, sweet caramelized onions and crispy bacon (can you see a contrast there?) anyways, when i actually took a close look at the arugula freshdirect sent me i knew i couldn't eat that raw. it was for lack of energy to find a better word - crap. all yellow and looked like there was permanent dirt infused into the leaves. yum right?
unlike some people i don't mind sautéed greens - actually i adore them. so i cleaned out the bacon grease from the pan and cooked the arugula off a bit on low, sprinkled with salt and added a few fresh tomato slices to the mix. lovely! the crust is my (now) usual formula of whole wheat and cornmeal as written out here.
josh gobbled his up as well. you can't go wrong with bacon, cheese and men.
