Simple Low-Fat Margherita Pizza

• diced tomatoes1 ounce

  I used the oregano, basil and garlic ones for more flavor

• tomato paste↗1⁄4 cup
• prepared pizza crust, pre-baked thin crust (I like whole wheat Boboli)↗1 ounce
• small basil leaves↗16
• fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thick↗4 ounces

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 450.

2. 2

   In bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, mix well.

3. 3

   Spread tomato mixture over pizza crust, top with mozarella.

4. 4

   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.
