Looking for an easy dinner, I remembered some flatbreads I saw on several restaurant menus. The flatbread crust was traditionally made without yeast, but now several types of crusts are used, including pizza dough.

For a quick vegetarian dinner, I decided to use a thin crust ready-made pizza dough such as Pillsbury. The dough is cooked on its own for a few minutes, then covered with the ingredients and baked to finish. You can also use pita bread and other thin crusts.

I sliced the Parmesan cheese instead of grating it to give more flavor. Pistachio nuts also add flavor and some protein.

Helpful Hints

  • You can use any pasta sauce.
  • You can use different types of cheese. Use this recipe as a guide for amounts.
  • You can use any type of shelled nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans).
