This vegetable and prosciutto pizza offers a delicious way to enjoy a takeaway favourite with a healthy, balanced twist. By using a whole-wheat base and a rainbow of nutrient-dense toppings like earthy cremini mushrooms, wilted baby spinach, and artichoke hearts, this dish provides plenty of fibre and essential vitamins. The addition of lean prosciutto strips adds a delicate salty depth without being overly heavy, while a sprinkle of red pepper flakes provides a gentle heat that cuts through the melted mozzarella.

Perfect for a midweek meal or a relaxed weekend dinner, this recipe is designed for those seeking a lighter alternative to traditional pizzas. The combination of part-skim mozzarella and a light drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil keeps the fats in check while ensuring every bite is satisfying. Serve this colourful pizza alongside a crisp seasonal side salad for a complete, home-cooked meal that the whole family will love.
