Week 41: Recipe #2--White Pita Pizzas

Yum!  These were really good pizzas, and they took NO time at all to throw together.  Super easy.  I found them on Pinterest, and they come from a site called Prevention (see link below).  We all loved these pizzas, and I especially love anything with pesto.  Next time I might throw a tomato slice or two on top, but these were perfect just the way they were.  I served these with a green salad and fruit.  Great  meal for a busy weeknight!  Makes 4 servings (although I doubled this recipe because that didn't seem like enough--doubling it was perfect).
You'll Need:
  • 2 whole wheat pitas, split horizontally into 2 halves
  • 1 c. fat-free ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 c. shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 Tblsp. pesto
Preparation:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Place the pita halves on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 4 minutes.  Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic in a bowl.  Spread 1/4 over each pita.  Spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto over the cheese on each pita.  Bake for 6 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
