Simple Low-Fat Margherita Pizza
"Fast, low-fat and delicious!"
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
1/4 slice
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I used the oregano, basil and garlic ones for more flavor)
- 1⁄4 cup tomato paste
- 1 (10 ounce) prepared pizza crust, pre-baked thin crust (I like whole wheat Boboli)
- 16 small basil leaves
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thick
directions
- Heat oven to 450.
- In bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, mix well.
- Spread tomato mixture over pizza crust, top with mozarella.
- Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. The original recipe calls for the basil to be added with the cheese, but personally, I like the freshness of the basil if you add it during the last minute of cooking, just so it wilts a little.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mom to 2 boys, ages 11 and 6. My youngest is a cancer survivor, so we enjoy each day given to us! You never know what can happen in your life! I have been in the loan business for over 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately, this economy has put a wrench into my awesome career. After a couple layoffs, I decided I need to do something else for awhile. I am now selling advertising, and it's different! I am thankful to have a job, so can't complain much! I love to cook. I can spend a whole Sunday in the kitchen just cooking away. I love trying new recipes (my boyfriend hates it. Lol. He likes what he likes and would be fine never trying anything new.) I never bake. I think it's because I don't measure. I am a throw-in-the-ingredients until they taste good kind of girl. I LOVE this site(actually, I am addicted to it) and am enjoying finding new things to make everyday!
