There are only so many references to Shakespeare, Romans, and Rubicons your recipe description writer can make; we're history lovers, not history majors! But most of all we're food lovers and the taste of this flatbread has us wanting our friends and countrymen to lend us their taste buds so we can spread the love of these flavors. From the umami-bomb mushroom sauce to two forms of Parmesan, this flatbread's got a serious case of veni, vidi, vici going on. (Turns out, we had a lot more references to use!) Tip: if you're looking for the right texture for the sauce, dip a spoon in and see how well it sticks to the back. If it coats, you're good to go.

Meat lovers! If adding protein, cook in large non-stick pan before vegetables in Step 3. Transfer to a plate, then add to flatbreads in Step 5 or serve on the side. If using chicken, pat dry and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Cut into 1" pieces if added to flatbread. If using Italian sausage, remove from casing. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Break into small pieces with a spoon until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes. If using ground turkey, combine with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook over medium-high heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. Break into small pieces with a spoon until no pink remains, 7-9 minutes.
