    Artichoke & Spinach Flatbread Pizza - thelastfoodblog.com

    Every Friday night is movie + pizza night at chez TLFB. It started when our girl was about 4, she's 11 now so it is well and truly ingrained in our weekly routine. I started it as a way of doing something together as a family to celebrate the end of the school and working week. And I'm so glad I did, we all look forward to it every week and it really is a great way to switch off from the stresses of the week. So movie night also involves pizza, and I usually make our own but some weeks are busier than others and I don't always have time to make our own pizzas. On days like that, I make this artichoke and spinach flatbread pizza.

    These flatbread pizzas are a little bit of a cheat, you buy the flatbread and then assemble the pizza. No kneading dough, no waiting for a rise. These pizzas are easy peasy, lemon squeezy. And you know what? I think it's ok to cheat a little bit in the kitchen, sometimes. I mean life gets busy right, and sometimes it's hard to feel motivated to do the whole homemade thing. Little cheats or shortcuts in the kitchen now and then can make your life easier just when you need them. And I firmly believe that we should not feel guilty for using little shortcuts. Once everyone gets a decent meal then mission accomplished. Sometimes spending more time with your family than in the kitchen is more important.

    So this is a really quick recipe, you just need to buy yourself some flatbread and go crazy with the toppings. We love artichoke pizza so for this one, I've upped the ante and added spinach, courgette and lemon to lift all those flavours. I added crumbled feta and chilli flakes at the end to really up the flavour and then top the whole thing off with toasted pine nuts and basil. The toasted pine nuts add a little earthiness to the pizza.  As always you may want to hold the chilli flakes for the kids. You could swap the flatbread for store-bought pizza bases or you could of course make your own bases.

    These artichoke flatbreads are not just great for when you are mega busy but they are really tasty, proper comfort food for Friday nights. They are also great if you have surprise visitors or an unexpected play date. Kids love these and 2 of these bad boys will feed about 6 kids or 4 adults, serve them up with a green salad and happy days.

      This looks delicious. When I was growing up Saturday night was pizza night. I wish I could say our creations were as exciting as this but it was always store bought bases, tomato puree, cheddar cheese and some pepperoni! How things change!

      I'm all for tradition to make evenings in fun and something to look forward to. This pizza a a great cheat for when the week is just too busy to contemplate pizza from scratch - far better than take out.

      This is a beautiful looking pizza. I love adding artichoke on a pizza, as it gives it such a meaty texture.
