The Hidden Vegetable Pizza
This pizza speaks to me. It moves me, you could say. See, it tastes like a rich and fattening Alfredo pizza but curiously doesn’t boast the calories or fat. Intrigued? Well, here is the secret:
That’s right. Vegetables. This pizza has managed to incorporate 10 ounces of spinach, 2 cups of cauliflower, and 1 baby zucchini into its fattening facade. I haven’t even mentioned the cabbage. The list of vegetables may scare some, but I guarantee picky eaters will be silenced with this one.
Coming out at just under a dollar per serving (99 cents, to be precise), this recipe is hearty, healthy, and comforting.
