  • 250 g ricotta
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 80 g Arugula (1 bunch)
  • 1 pizza base (for one baking sheet)
  • flour (for handling)
  • 200 g smoked salmon (sliced)

  1. 1.

    Hard boil the eggs for 9 minutes, cool in ice water, peel and finely chop. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
