Step 1
Heat the oven to 475F.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped kohlrabi greens and blanch for 1-2 miniutes. Remove from the water with tongs and place in a colander to drain, gently pressing on the greens to release moisture.

Step 3
Blend the olives, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the kohlrabi leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt, cayenne and parmesan cheese. Process until roughly chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and water. Process until smooth and creamy, adding a touch more water if necessary.

Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced kohlrabi and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 5
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Spread pesto evenly over the dough. Add the kohlrabi, followed by both of the cheeses. Bake in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. about 12-15 minutes.

Step 6
Remove from the oven. Top the pizza with pine nuts, a large handful of arugula, drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Slice and serve.
