When shopping for pesto, choose refrigerated tubs instead of cans or jars; they have the most flavor and the least sodium.

  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. prepared refrigerator pesto
  • ½ cup shredded low-moisutre part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Tbs. low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  1. Set rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 500F.
  2. Stretch dough into 10-inch round. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over high heat. Cook dough round 3 minutes, or until brown and crisp on bottom. Turn dough over in skillet using 2 spatulas. Remove from heat.
  3. Spread 2 Tbs. pesto over crust in skillet. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with dollops of ricotta, spaced well apart. Set zucchini rounds around ricotta.
