Notes
- Try to use yellow and green courgettes to give varied colour and flavour. However if you can't find yellow courgettes you can just use green.
- If you don't fancy making this with a yogurt sauce, you could swap it for a classic tomato sauce instead.
- The courgettes may produce some liquid when cooking, so just drain it a little and then put it back in the oven for a little longer.
- Want to make this pizza vegan? Swap the Greek yogurt for soya yogurt and use vegan cheese.
