  1. Makes 8 servings

    Crust Ingredients:

    3 cups grated zucchini, unpeeled
    3 large eggs
    1/2 cup almond flour
    1/2 tbs dried basil, or 1 tbps chopped fresh
    1/2 cup Kraft 2% Sharp Cheddar cheese, finely grated

    Toppings:

    5.5 oz asparagus
    3.5 oz spinach
    2 small italian tomatoes or 1 big honker
    6 oz odyssey tomato & basil feta cheese
    2 oz president mediterranean herbs fat free feta cheese
    1 jar (8 oz) Bertolli Traditional Basil Pesto (2g carbs per 1/4 cup serving)

    To make the crust:

    In a large bowl combine all crust ingredients. Spread evenly into pizza pan
    and bake at 350 for 30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, cool
    slightly.

    While crust is cooking, stir feta cheeses together in a bowl. Dice tomatoes
    and set aside. Slice asparagus in half lengthwise (just the stalky bottom
    parts, the tops can be left whole) and throw it in a steamer with the
    spinach. Steam until *just* tender. Slice all asparagus into 1 inch long
    pieces and shred the spinach into small bite sized chunks. Set spinach and
    asparagus aside.

    Dump pesto onto pizza crust and spread evenly to edges. Dump feta cheese
    mixture on top next, and spread to just a bit away from edges. Scatter all
    veggies evenly across cheese.

    Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes, then broil for about 3-5 more minutes.

    Let cool for about 10 minutes, slice and serve.

  2. Note: BTW, the majority of the fat is mono type from the olive oil in the
    pesto sauce, but they didn't have the breakdown on the label, so it looks
    funny.
