Look what I found. Perfect for two threads. This is from
Mr. Newman's, Newman's Own Cookbook, and is a literary delight
as well, as his sterling wit is evident. Its comical as the
publication date states, I. Newman, Paul, 1925-
Well there are two library of Congress No.'s. Suppose one is
for Paul, himself? ISBN 0-8092-5156-6
ISBN 0-8092-5155-8 (pbk) ahh..believe ones
paperback

Might I request you buy a jar of Newman's Own Spaghetti sauce?
ZUCCHINI CRUST PIZZA
3 1/2 cups coarse grated zucchini
salt
1/3 cup flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2-3 tablespoons minced fresh basil (1 tsp dried)
salt and pepper
spaghetti sauce
your own toppings: peppers, onions, mushrooms, anchovies
Place zucchini in bowl and lightly salt. Let sit for 15 minutes and
squeeze out all the water that is rendered. Roll in a towel and twist
again. This is to remove all possible water. Mix with rest of
ingredients in a bowl. Spread on a well-oiled baking pan and bake in
a 350F oven until top is dry and lightly browned (20 minutes). Brush
a little oil on surface and broil a few minutes--but don't burn.
Spread with spaghetti sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, and any toppings. You
may, of coarse use your favorite cheeses. Return to oven and bake at
350F until done. About another 20 minutes.
I also just recently read that the smaller zucchini have the sweeter,
better flavor.
