1 small yellow summer squash, 3 ounces, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 450F. Place the pizza shells on a pizza stone or heavy non−stick

1/8 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Sprinkle each shell with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
Arrange the mushroom slices around the outside of the shell. Cover the shell with squash
