BB- White Pizza with Arugula
Well it's that time again-time for a Barefoot Blogger post! This week Andrea of Nummy Kitchen has chosen Inas White Pizza with Arugula. Now here is the thing and when it comes to me there is always a thing. I think there are 2 types of people, those who like white sauces and those that don't. I frankly fall in the latter. Although, I don't strongly dislike them, I don't particularly like them. I like my pasta and pizzas with a nice red sauce. Now I promise I will never write about fat and calories on this blog, but I did do some quick calculations and one of these little pizza's should have at least 60grams of fat and I say at least because I lost one of the cheese wrappers with the nutritional info. Now I love my Ina and her use of 1lb of butter in every recipe but sometimes a recipe will freak me out. You know when it’s a dessert you can have a little piece and move on; when it’s a special occasion, you can chalk it up to it’s only one time; but when it’s for a week night dinner, I feel like it’s too much.
But I will say for the love my art ;) I did have a slice and I thought it was ok-I would have preferred a red sauce but then that wouldn't have been a white pizza with arugula. Now for you cheese lovers cover you ears….are they covered? Ok, I also felt there was just too much cheese going on. Blasphemy I know! Well anyways enough about me, we've all figured out I'm strange by now. Lets talk about people who had no idea how much fat was in the pizza and actually ate it-my husband and his friend. My husband thought the pizza was ok but highly impressed that I made the dough from scratch and his friend thought it was fabulous. So you see the moral of this story is that this recipe is neither here nor there and when it comes to a review. Oh and just incase you were wondering, I still me some Ina! Now don't forget to check to see what other Barefoot Bloggers thought!

Your pizza looks great, I love that you cooked it in a little cast iron skillet! Sorry this recipe wasn't a favorite for you, thanks for cooking along with me though :)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with yours! We seriously LOVED this pizza!!!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I cut way back on the cheese and still loved it. If you look at my picture you will see it is not oozing with melted whiteness.
