Imagine letting lasagna fillings loose over a pizza, and you’ll get the inspiration for this fast and fun-spirited meal. Using naan as a base keeps it super casual and easy: like your usual pasta sheets, they first receive a layer of seasoned ricotta. Then there’s a layer of richly spiced browned ground beef and zucchini in tomato sauce. Meanwhile, mozzarella melts into it all. Slip in a salad dressed with white balsamic on the side.

Preparation
Cook the beef & zucchini
Preheat the oven to broil. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut into ¼ inch pieces. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef and zucchini; season with all but a pinch of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until the zucchini has softened and the beef* is cooked through. Add the tomato sauce; stir well.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Assemble & bake the pizzas
Arrange the naan on a lined sheet pan. Spread with the seasoned ricotta. Top with the beef, zucchini and mozzarella. Broil, 2 to 4 min., until warmed through and beginning to crisp.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar (start with ½), 2 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the baby greens and radishes; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pizzas (halve beforehand if desired) and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
