Pizza has long been a guilty pleasure. But our version bans the guilt, and heaps on the health! You’ll feel downright virtuous eating this nutrient-packed pie!

You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup organic red, green and yellow pepper, sliced thin

- Gluten-free pizza shell (We carry several at Lassen’s–we used Against the Grain Three Cheese Pizza Gluten Free Shell)
- 1/2 cup pesto (Again, we carry several kinds at Lassen’s, but for this pizza we used Chef Stroh’s Green Monster Pesto. Click here to learn about Chef Stroh–a great local company!)

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
