When The Moon Hits Your Eyes Like a Big Pizza Pie That's Amore: Recipe

As a proud Italian, I speak with my hands, talk loudly and give everyone I meet or see hugs because well, "you're family!".

You'll be hard pressed to find an Italian who doesn't do at least one of the above, and you'll be even harder pressed to find an Italian who doesn't like Pizza. 
So here I am - a loud mouth, pizza loving Italian with a fitness/lifestyle blog.

No, this isn't a "One of these things is not like the other" game, although I feel like a few aspects of my life could be classified as such. This is instead, my excitement for finding a clean, low carb and delicious twist on a classic Italian favorite: PIZZA!

You can top your pizza with anything you'd like. I did this one as Hawaiian, but have already fantasized as making a Greek version, or spinach and broccoli, or peppers and onions or...The list goes on and on, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. We must start with the dough.
Protein & Meat vs. Carbs & Starch is the method here. 
For my veggie friends - I am coming up with an alternative for you, and taking suggestions!

You must use the Chicken Sausage on the left vs. the right.
It is in a black container vs. a package and is more "squishy.
Any sausage (like this) you use needs to be this way to be
molded into a yummy dough.

• 1 package of Trader Joe's Tomato Basil Sausage: Thaw for about 24 hours, in the refrigerator. Squeeze the sausage through/out of the casing (this part is gross, but quick, easy & necessary) and put in a mixing bowl.
• 3 eggs: yolks and all, mixed into the sausage.
• 5-6 tablespoons of almond meal or cashew meal. (Use your judgement for consistency here - the dough should be "doughy")
• Mix/knead these all together. You can use a fork but getting down & with your hands does work best.
• Coat a cookie/baking sheet with Canola Oil (or something non-stick) and spread the dough out. You will want it to be about 1cm thick with no breaks or holes.

Now we can move onto the fun stuff, the toppings!

• The sauce - any tomato basil, plain tomato, pesto etc. will work here. Watch the ingredients for anything funky (you can't pronounce) and as long as it's clean it's do-able here. GO HEAVY! Because your "dough" is basically meat, it soaks up a bit of the sauce so your coating needs to be thicker. Add garlic powder, minced garlic and pepper to desired taste!
• Then sprinkle with a THIN layer of cheese to start.
• Add desired toppings: here I did low sodium ham, chopped pineapple, chopped yellow onion and sliced red pepper.
• Top with another thin layer of cheese!

Bake at 400 degrees for a half hour. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving and then enjoy! This serving is enough for 2 hungry people with some leftovers (it is just a delicious reheated or cold) and I'd suggest a veggie for a side!

Enjoy this entree guilt free & share your variations with me! I see a lot of pizza in my future, and that makes me one happy, Too Fit, Italian!
