Ingredients

  • 2 large Naan loaves such as a 1 8.8 ounce package of Stonefire Naan
  • ¼ cup pesto mixed with 2-3 tablespoons of water (enough to get a nice drizzling consistency); we prefer fresh from the deli section, or you can also make your own!
  • ½ pound Italian sausage crumbled and cooked
  • 1 small zucchini halved and thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup pizza sauce we love this recipe!
  • Ricotta cheese to taste about ¼-⅓ cup will probably do

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450℉. 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.
