Pizza Friday continues—my husband loves it and misses any end of the week without some kind of pie. We’ve recently fallen in love with Lavash flatbread we purchase from our local farmer’s market. Tonight’s creation was born of simplicity and indulgence—a few ingredients, along with fresh toppings, paired with rich, bold flavors. Here’s my formula for fantastic, flatbread fare: First, sauté one large thinly sliced zucchini in a bit of olive oil until slightly softened; season lightly with kosher salt and set aside. Next, brown about a half-pound of ground mild Italian sausage. Drain, and blot well.
Spread flatbread with a thin layer of sun dried tomato pesto. Add zucchini, sausage, minced garlic, fresh chopped basil and shredded mozzarella. Bake in 400 degree oven until cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.
Pizza Friday--what a great way to start the weekend!
