Zucchini and Pine Nuts Pizza
Zucchini is fresh where pine nuts is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Thinly sliced zucchini adds a delicate, garden-fresh sweetness with a tender bite. Delicate, buttery pine nuts add a subtle, creamy nuttiness and golden-toasted crunch. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
