Courgette pizza bianca, or white pizza, makes a change from the standard pizza recipe as it's made without tomatoes. A mascarpone base with loads of Taleggio cheese is a nice move away from tomato sauce and mozarella for something a little different. This pizza will be on the table in 20 minutes as it uses frozen pizza dough, which is good news after a long day - plus, it's a really interesting new way to use up courgettes. Feel free to drizzle over some garlic oil if you fancy at the end!
