Form a thin, round pizza base (Ø approx. 22 cm) from the zucchini mixture on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 15-20 minutes.

    Wash and halve the tomatoes. Peel onion and garlic and dice finely. Heat oil in a pan and fry onion and garlic until transparent. Add sugar and tomato paste and fry briefly. Add halved tomatoes and deglaze with strained tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and oregano and simmer for about 5 minutes on a low heat. Wash the basil, shake dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Remove the pizza base from the oven, turn it over and spread tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle with 100 g mozzarella and bake again for 10 - 15 minutes in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer). Remove from the oven, sprinkle with 25 g Parmesan and basil leaves and serve.
