Cheesy Fennel and Zucchini Pizza

Fennel is one of the ingredients that give Italian sausage its distinctive taste. Sprinkle it, fresh or dried, onto your pie and you'll get the flavor you crave minus all that unwanted fat and bloat-inducing sodium.

Make it: Sautee 1/2 cup diced fennel, 3/4 cup grated zucchini, and a pinch of hot pepper flakes in 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until fennel softens. Spread over 1 slice ready-made pizza crust. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 375ºF oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Per slice: 260 cal, 12 g fat (3 g sat), 370 mg sodium, 32 g carbs, 6 g fiber, 11 g protein
