Perfect pita pizza

By Kimberly Adler-Morelli

This is an easy recipe for one personal-sized pizza — and fun for kids to join in making, too.

Ingredients:

• 1 large whole grain pita bread 
• ⅛ cup low-fat ricotta cheese
• ⅛ cup bottled pizza sauce or marinara sauce
• ¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced mushrooms, less-fat pepperoni, chopped green pepper, onion, pineapple chunks, lean ham)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Place pita on a baking sheet.
2. Spread ricotta cheese over the pita. Spoon pizza sauce over the cheese and add toppings. 
3. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake 6 to 8 minutes.
