Toasted Tuscan Walnut Squares

Toasted Tuscan Walnut Squares

1/2 c. walnut halves and pieces
1 pizza dough (we used the Pillsbury in a can, but Trader Joes would work, too)
2/3 c. pesto
9 oz frozen spinach (we just blanched 9 oz of fresh)
½ c. sun-dried tomatoes in oil, patted dry, cut into slices
½ c. drained artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
1 c. crumbled feta (4oz)
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese (4oz)

Heat oven to 400. Spread walnuts in ungreased pan. Bake 3-7 min, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Set aside.

Lightly spray large cookie sheet or 15x10x1 inch pan with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough on sheet. Press dough to rectangle. Bake 8-10 min or until edges are light brown.

Spread pesto over crust. Top with spinach, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, feta and mozzarella.

Bake 8-15 min longer or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with walnuts. Cut into 24 squares. Serve warm.
