1

{"0":"Preaheat oven to 450 degrees.","2":"Start the sauce first. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan, then add cream cheese, and whisk in whipping cream in a steady stream, until smooth. Add cheese, pepper, and garlic powder, and simmer for 15 minutes, until creamy smooth. Allow to cool for a few minutes.","4":"While sauce is simmering, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, and sautee until golden, about 10 minutes. (optional- add 1 clove finely minced garlic). Add mushrooms, and sautee for 1-2 minutes, just to allow the mushrooms to absorb some of the flavor. Remove from heat, and add spinach, tossing to coat with oil.","6":"Spread 4-5 spoonfuls of sauce onto crust, covering generously, to within 1\/2 inch of edges.","8":"Top with spinach mixture, then layer with thinly sliced Roma tomatoes. Sprinkle with sliced black olives. Cover evenly with feta and parmesan cheeses.","10":"Bake 12-14 minutes, or until cheese is just browned.","12":"Slice, serve, and enjoy!"}
