DASH: PIZZA GOES EXTRA HEALTHY: MARGHERITA STYLE

Multigrain low sodium meatless pizza

My husband loves PIZZA. He could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a snack in one day. So when you are in a "diet" you should be able to reinvent an unhealthy family favorite recipe into a delicious, nutritious and low sodium mouthwatering dish. I promise you that you would never call again for delivery or even go out for pizza anymore.

INGREDIENTS ( FEEDS 2-3 persons) :)

12 inch multi grain thin pizza pie crust Mamma Mary's ( really good deal, low sodium of all brands per piece)
1 cup of tomato sauce Muir Glen Organic No salt added
10 large garlic cloves chopped ( or as much as you like)
1  teaspoon of dried oregano (total)
1 teaspoon of dried basil (total)
Dash of No Salt ( if allowed by your doctor) and black pepper
1/4 cup of part skim milk mozzarella shredded cheese
1.5 oz of fresh mozzarella cheese
1 big red and ripe tomato, cut thinly
12 leaf of fresh basil, chopped
2 teaspoon of good quality extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon of onion powder (total)
2 teaspoon of garlic powder (total)
PAM spray

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Heat over medium-high a medium size saucepan. Spray 2 seconds of PAM. Add the garlic. Cook for 3 min or until golden brown. Next add the tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of basil and oregano and as well 1 teaspoon of onion powder and garlic powder. Let simmer for 8-10 min over medium-low heat.

In a pizza pan, spray evenly PAM until covered. Put the pizza pie crust. Spray the pizza pie crust with PAM. Sprinkle on top the pie crust 1 teaspoon of onion powder and garlic powder. Stick it into the oven for 4 min. Remove from the oven. Add evenly the 2/3 of the tomato sauce over the pie crust even over the edges.  Set aside the other 1/3 of the sauce for dipping. Then add around the pie crust the tomato slices. Sprinkle the rest of 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano and basil over the tomatoes. Stick back to the oven for 5 min.

Next remove from the oven and add first the shredded mozzarella around the tomato slices and then add the fresh mozzarella on top of the tomato slices. Stick back to the oven for 3 min. Then change the oven temperature to broil and let it cook for 2-3 min or until edges and cheese are turning slightly brown.
Remove from the oven. Let it rest for 2-3 min. At last add the fresh basil and drizzle the 2 teaspoon of the extra virgin olive oil over the entire pizza. Cut into slices. Remember the reserved tomato sauce for dipping. ENJOY!!
