Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegan sausage - 150 grams, crumbled
• Broccoli rabe (or rapini) - 200 grams, trimmed and chopped
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon

3. Add the crumbled vegan sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped broccoli rabe, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the greens are tender but still bright.

6. Spread the sautéed mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
7. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and vegan mozzarella cheese over the top.
