Caramelized onion and gorgonzola pizza

Every Thurday we gather at a friends house and I usually end up cooking a my friend Callie ends up cleaning up around me because I tend to make a mess. At the end of the day however, we have a wonderful meal prepared that can beat most resturants. Plus its much cheaper, so this way more friends can come and you wont have a sky high bill at the end of the night.

Crust:
I usually can find premade dough at the local grocery store, or pizza joint for pretty cheap. ($2.00)

Topping:
5 onions sliced, 1/4 inch thick
handful arugala or spinach
wedge gorgonzola, 1/2 cup.
1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
2 TBS olive oil

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large saucepan heat oil overmedium heat. Add onions and salt generously. cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and slightly transparent. Toss in nuts and cook for 2 minutes. Let cool .
roll out dough onto a well oiled pizza stone or cookie sheet to desired size. About a medium to large pizza.
Spread a layer of arugala and sprinkle with olive oil. Cover the crust with all of the onions and nuts. Add a few more bits of arugala. Crumble the gorgonzola over the top of the pizza.
Place pizza in the middle of the oven, and bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Serves 3-4 people.
