Easy Vegan Pizza Night!

This past Thursday, I was impossibly tired after work.  Knowing that I had almost nothing at the house to eat, I still had to stop at the grocery store (even though I could barely keep my eyes open.)  So of course I picked up a few things with some recipes in mind for later in the week, but I also needed something that I could just quickly whip up when I got home for dinner, and still feel like I had a home cooked meal.  Easy vegan pizza to the rescue!  From start to finish it took me about 15-20 minutes to make, the prep work was easy and it was oh sooo good!

 So at the grocery store I stumbled upon these great little pre made mini pizza crusts.  Yup, they're vegan and super convenient to have on hand on nights when you really don't want to make a huge production out of dinner, but still want to have something yummy.

 - 1 Mini pizza crust of your choice
- 2 oz. GimmeLean sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup Daiya mozzerella style shreds (plus a little extra to sprinkle
   on top)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 of a red onion, sliced into crescents
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1tsp. dried oregano

Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly spray a pan with a cooking spray (like pam), and cook the gimmelean sausage according to package (about 5 minutes.)  Remove from pan and set aside.  Using the same pan heat up the olive oil over medium high heat and add onions and garlic, cook about 5 minuted or until softened and translucent.  Add spinach and a splash of water and continue to cook, stirring frequently for a few minutes more, until spinach has wilted.  Now it's time to assemble your pizza!  Spoon on and spread the pizza sauce onto the pizza crust leaving about 1/4 inch around the edges for the crust.  Evenly sprinkle the daiya on top.  Add the remaining toppings, and sprinkle a little extra daiya on top of everything.  Sprinkle oregano over the pizza.  Place on a cookie sheet (or directly on oven rack for a crispier crust,) and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.  That's it!  Enjoy!
