Tomato Basil Pizza

When I used to live in Phoenix, there was a unique store and restaurant around the corner called La Grande Orange Grocery.  There was one perfect night nearly seven years ago...  I was eight months pregnant with Baby #2 and was so hungry I could have eaten a house.  Not a good situation.  The Doc and his dad took me to La Grande.  I ordered a Tomato Basil Pizza and am pretty sure I ate the entire pizza myself (I was eating for two, right?).  It hit the spot like nothing else had in months.  I've dreamed of that pizza ever since -- until now.  Now I make it all the time.

True love.  Yum.



Tomato Basil Pizza
by www.trainermomma.com

1 whole wheat pita
1/3 cup marinara sauce (I used Classico)
1 tsp garlic, minced
2 Tb mozzarella cheese, reduced fat
3-4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 roma tomato, sliced
1 Tb feta cheese, reduced fat
freshly cracked pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spread the sauce all over the pita.  Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly all over the pita.  Spread the mozzarella cheese over the top of the pita.  Next, sprinkle the basil leaves topped with as many tomatoes as you like.  Top with the feta cheese.  Finish off your creation with some freshly cracked pepper.

Carefully place your pizza on the middle oven rack.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until your cheese is bubbling and crust is a golden brown.  Remove carefully.

Enjoy.  Like, really really enjoy.  I LOVE this pizza.
