I’d run out of inspiration for how to use up summer’s end of zucchini, tomatoes and basil, until I came across a recipe in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (Deborah Madison). After finishing off a single piece of this divine pizza, I am moving this recipe to my "Favorite Meals Before I Die" list, it’s that good! This makes a 10" pizza perfect for two dinner size servings, or 4 luncheon size servings with salad. Use the “Number of Servings” feature below to increase it as needed. I did tweak the recipe some to accommodate supplies on hand, or just because I tend to ‘deviate creatively’ from recipes, but this follows the cookbook version fairly close.
