A zucchini pizza is a great way to enjoy pizza while keeping things fresh, seasonal, and a little lighter. This zucchini pizza recipe, or courgette pizza as it is also known, is an easy pizza recipe to make for your summer party. Why make a zucchini pizza? Summers are full of farmers’ markets, backyard gardens, and an abundance of fresh zucchini. Instead of letting those garden-fresh zucchinis pile up on the counter, why not turn them into something everyone will love? This recipe is an easy way to make use of fresh produce while keeping your meal satisfying and simple. The garlic cream sauce recipe with the addition of parmesan cheese.
The dough for the pizza
I have the link to my pizza dough recipe in the recipe. I suggest you use 00 flour for the dough. All-purpose flour will work fine though. 00 flour is available at most grocery stores. Grocery stores also offer pizza dough that is already made. So you have a few options for the dough.
The garlic cream sauce
The link to the garlic cream sauce, just like the pizza dough, is in the recipe. When making the garlic cream sauce just follow the recipe and add the parmesan cheese at the end. The recipe only takes about 8-10 minutes and can be used in many dishes. Pizzas, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers will benefit from the garlic cream sauce.
The zucchini and assembly
The zucchini can be sliced on a mandolin or with a very sharp knife. The mandoline will make work much easier but be very careful of the sharp blade!
Ok! So now we have the ingredients done and we are ready to slap this pizza together and get it in the oven. Roll out your pizza dough to the shape you would like. Spread on the garlic cream sauce then arrange the zucchini slices on the pizza. After the zucchini slices are on the add the remaining parmesan cheese. When the pizza is assembled, bake it at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Check the pizza after 10 minutes and continue baking for a few minutes more if necessary.
