Instructions

  • To make cream sauce: In saucepan over medium heat, add oil or butter. Saute onions until translucent then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and begin to caramelize.
  • Stir in picked thyme and cook 1 minute to release oils.
  • Add heavy cream and bring to gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly, 5-7 minutes.
  • In small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make slurry. Slowly whisk into simmering cream sauce until it reaches desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and stir in truffle oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To prepare pizza: Preheat Current Model P Smart Pizza Oven to 850 F. While oven heats up, roll dough out to 8-12 inches and add desired amount of cream sauce.
  • Top with mozzarella, mushrooms, spinach and sausage, as desired. Once oven is hot, cook pizza 2 minutes until bubbly.
