Healthy Pizza

Here is a good recipe for a low fat pizza. I have tried it twice and think it is worthy to print. As always I think you can play with the recipe and add other sauteed vegetables, herbs and seasonings to the mix which are basically calorie free. Also you can add other favorite cheeses but it will change the calorie count, so watch out for that. Overall I would definitely have this again and not feel guilty about eating pizza!

Serves:1 serving

Ingredients

• 1 large low -fat, high-fiber, burrito-size tortilla (with about 100 calories)
• Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
• 1/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 thin slices plum tomato
• 4 fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving, optional
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Put tortilla on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until slightly crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Leave oven on.

In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with mozzarella cheese. Set aside.

Bring a skillet coated with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add the onion and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened and slightly browned, about 5 or 6 minutes.

Immediately stir onion into cheese mixture. Add garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Spread cheese-onion mixture evenly on top of the tortilla. Top with tomato slices and basil leaves, and then sprinkle with a dash of salt, if desired.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake until hot, about 5 minutes. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut into slices. Garnish with Parmesan, if using. Pizza for one!
