This is a nice change of pace from your typical pizza. You will never know it's "light". I found this in a Cooking Light cookbook back from 2006. My husband and I have been enjoying it ever since. The poblano peppers are not spicy and are a mild chile. They have a smokey flavor and just a hint of heat. So don't be afraid to try this. Enjoy!
