As promised, I am bringing a lower calorie dish now that the holiday season has passed and we are all on the path to healthier foods. This is a great recipe for a light lunch or dinner and is also great for dieters!
1 10-ounce (300 g) thin crust pizza shell
1/2 cup (10 g) chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
1/2 cup (114 g) low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup (75 g) grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons (10 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 pound (240 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
olive oil cooking spray
freshly ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas Mark 4. Place the pizza crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the basil and olive oil. Spread over the crust. In another bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Crumble over the basil.
Place the tomato halves on top. Spray with cooking spray and grate on fresh pepper to taste.
Bake for 15 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked but still keep their shape. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve warm or chilled.
