Diet – Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Pizza

Who doesn’t love pizza? Some of the hardest things to give up when you’re on a diet and trying to lose weight are your favorite foods. But with an ultra-healthy recipe for sun-dried tomato and basil pizza, you won’t have to give up this favorite!

1 12” whole-wheat pizza crust

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese

1/2 cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

Fresh basil

First, the dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes must be re-hydrated before they can be used. Put them in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until the tomatoes are soft and pliable, about 5 minutes, then drain.

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly coat a 12-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.

Roll out dough and press into the baking pan. Arrange garlic, cheese and tomatoes on top of the pizza crust. Tear fresh basil and arrange pieces evenly over pizza.

Bake on the lowest rack of the oven until the pizza crust turns brown and the toppings are hot, about 20 minutes.

Cut the pizza into 8 even slices and serve immediately.
