From the Test Kitchen

Tonight’s white pizza calls on the classic, comforting flavors of creamed spinach. Ricotta cheese and fromage blanc give the spinach its characteristic silkiness, while scallions and garlic add a bit of piquancy. On the side, a warm salad of nutty sautéed cauliflower gets a fragrant lift from fresh oregano, whose savoriness balances sweet, juicy bites of clementine. (Chefs, chopping your spinach very finely after cooking it allows you to more easily spread it onto the dough.)
