Friday Night Slice: Zucchini Cherry Bomb

The door's open and I'm staring into the fridge. What've I got that might make a good, simple flatbread? No time for sauce, what can I throw on there for a quick snack?

It seemed like a good idea at the time, the whole zucchini noodle thing.  The truth is, I made "zoodles" about three times before that peeler went in to the drawer, got shoved to the back, and didn't come out again. Turns out, it's the perfect tool for shaving down a medium zucchini so it'll cook up quickly without making a watery mess of your pizza. In celebration of actually using that damn peeler again, this week's Friday Night Slice is the Zucchini Cherry Bomb.  It's vegetarian, it's sauceless and it's delicious.

So, why talk about it? We made a discovery the other night. The secret here is maximum pesto, minimum noodle.
