Artichoke Pizza

ESPN reports that in addition to getting plenty of shut-eye, Michael Phelps is loading up on carbs. He eats \"gargantuan amounts of pasta and pizza between races,\" reports the AP.

\r\n\r\n

This pizza recipe is easy enough for you to throw together tonight after your race home from work, just in time to watch the recap of Phelps winning his third gold medal.

Rotini with Cheesy Zucchini

Pizza Broil

Penne with Green Beans and Basil

Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza

Creamy Rigatoni with Spinach

You\'ll love this simple toss of hot pasta, creamy ricotta, Parmesan, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.

And with all that iron you\'re getting from the spinach, you should be ready for a few laps.
