Veggie Pizza

OMG. This pizza was just so great, so simple, so quick, so delicious, so healthy, so AWESOME. You might recall my previous homemade pizza attempt, and while that was wonderful, this was even better! Here's the goods:

While your oven preheats to 450, add some olive oil to a skillet and saute a cup of broccoli, one sliced yellow squash, a cup of sliced mushrooms, and one sliced red bell pepper. After three minutes, add two minced garlic cloves* and saute for another half-minutes.

(*Tip: I use the drum-sized bucket of pre-minced garlic that Spice World sells. You can find it for sure in the produce section at Giant or the bulk spices at Sam's Club. Unless I'm making something that requires whole cloves, in which case I would buy a head of garlic, the Spice World bucket cuts out one prep step for you!)

Evenly spread your veggie mixture on a 12-inch pizza crust, and sprinkle some black pepper, some red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella (reduced-fat!) over everything. Bake for 20 minutes (or until cheese starts to brown), and enjoy!
