Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

• 3 oz. ground Italian sausage
• 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
• 1/4 cup refrigerated basil pesto, divided
• 12 oz. pkg. of 3 prebaked pizza crusts
• 3 oz. fresh mozzarella, very thinly sliced
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
• 2 tbsp. fresh basil leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450.

2. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, and cook, stirring and breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate. Add zucchini and 1 tbsp. pesto to the skillet; cook, stirring often, until zucchini is slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Place pizza crusts on a baking sheet, and spread remaining 3 tbsp. pesto evenly over crusts. Top crusts evenly with zucchini mixture, sausage, mozzarella, and red pepper. Bake at 450 until crusts are crisped on edges and cheese is melted, 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle evenly with basil. Cut each pizza into 4 slices and serve immediately.
