1 cup pizza sauce (homemade or commercial)

1
Wash the spinach well and discard tough stems; place wet spinach in a big pot; cover and bring to a simmer; cook until spinach is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.

4
In a big skillet, cook mushrooms in oil over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are beginning to brown.
5
Add in garlic; cook 2 minutes; stir in the spinach and salt/pepper to taste; mix well and remove from heat; let cool.
6
Preheat oven to 400; oil a 9 x 1 1/2 inch layer cake pan or deep-dish pie pan.
7
With rolling pin, roll out dough to a 13 inch circle; arrange the dough in the prepared pan, patting it up the sides.
8
Place the slices of asiago in the bottom of the pan; spread a layer of vegetables over the cheese; make a layer of sauce.
9
Arrange the mozzarella slices on top; sprinkle with pecorino.
