Step 1:

Prepare Sausage and Pre-Heat Oven

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with or foil. Using the back of a spoon, gently crush fennel seeds to release natural flavorful oils (no need to finely grind, a coarse cracking is fine). In a small bowl combine ground pork, cracked fennel seeds, ½ tsp. salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2:

Prepare the Ingredients

Throughly rinse produce and pat dry. Stem and mince parsley, reserving a few whole leaves for garnish. Peel and slice shallotlengthwise into thin strips (julienne).

Step 3:

Make Herbed Ricotta

Whisk ricotta and minced parsley together in a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4:

Prepare Pizzas

Place crusts on prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Spread ¼ cup of pizza sauce on each crust. Arrange sliced shallot (to taste) over the sauce. Using fingers, pinch and scatter small bits of the fennel sausage evenly over crusts. Bake until sausage is cooked all the way through, about 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5:

Top with Whipped Ricotta

Working quickly with a spoon, top pizzas with dollops of whipped ricotta (to taste.)

Finished!
