Makes (1) 12-inch pizza

Ingredients:

1 head of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
1/3 cup ricotta
1 prebaked pizza crust
1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 bunch basil, shredded
Sea Salt
Paprika

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice off the pointed end of the garlic bulb, revealing the cloves. Place on a sheet of foil and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Wrap tightly. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the cloves are soft. Place the ricotta in a small bowl and squeeze the garlic cloves into the bowl. Stir until it forms a paste.

Spread the ricotta mixture on the pizza crust and drizzle with 1/ 4 cup of olive oil. Lay the mozzarella slices evenly across the crust and sprinkle with the basil. Sprinkle with sea salt and paprika and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the crust is brown. Serve immediately.
