Remove table of contents from a R bookdown to pdf_book or pdf_document2

Question

I compiling a short document using bookdown in Rstudio. I would simply like to drop the table of contents at the beginning of the document. I could "knit to pdf" instead of "knit to pdf_book" or "knit to pdf_document2", but then would loose a lot of the bookdown functions (cross references etc.).

Should be fairly easy, isn't it?
