Italian Sausage Flatbread Pizza
This Italian Sausage Flatbread Pizza is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your whole family will love! A great way to introduce kids to pesto, ricotta cheese, and zucchini.
Ingredients
- 2 large Naan loaves like 1 8.8 ounce package of Stonefire Naan
- 1/4 cup pesto I like the fresh stuff that you get in the deli section of the grocery store rather than the shelf-stable pesto in jars; you can also make your own! mixed with 2-3 tablespoons of water (enough to get a nice drizzling consistency)
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage crumbled and cooked
- 1 small zucchini halved and thinly sliced
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- About 1/2 cup pizza sauce we love this recipe!
- Ricotta cheese to taste about 1/4-1/3 cup will probably do
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with foil, place flatbreads on the sheet, and set aside.
- If you haven't cooked your sausage yet, crumble it into the pan and cook completely. When the sausage is done cooking, remove the sausage from the pan, but leave about 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan. Cook the zucchini over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, just enough for it to soften. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- While the sausage is cooking, spread pizza sauce on the flatbreads. Top with the sausage, zucchini, and shredded mozzarella. Bake in preheated oven for 5-6 minutes or until the cheese is melted but not burned.
- Remove the pan from oven. Add a few dollops of ricotta cheese evenly distributed over the pizzas. Drizzle with pesto. Cut into pieces and serve immediately.
