Fit - Pesto Tomato Pizza

This pizza is delicious; my husband loved this! Make the pizza crust at the bottom for the exact nutritional info or you can just use a store bought premade pizza crust (nutritional info wouldn't be much different). You get 2 slices that are pretty darn big for only 10 weight watcher plus points! 

Ingredients:
Pizza Dough (recipe below)
1/2 C Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese
3/4 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/2-3/4 C Fresh Spinach
2 medium tomatoes - Sliced in strips
4 TBSP Traditional Pesto Basil Sauce (mine was Classico brand but there are a bunch of brands of this at any store).

First of all, you can buy the Traditional Pesto Basil Sauce at almost any grocery store (at least in Idaho). I got mine at Wal-Mart and it was in the section with the Spaghetti Sauce; right above the spaghetti sauce on the top shelf with many brands to choose from. Also, most pizza dough comes in 1 lb amounts so you could double the recipe and make two pizza that would feed 6 people.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make pizza dough. Use a roller to spread out dough very thin (i spread mine out thin enough to go fully across the bottom of my 11x17 baking pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake dough for about 8-10 minutes turning once with a few minutes left. Take out of oven. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Spread Pesto Sauce evenly across dough. Top with tomato slices, spinach, Mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in that order. Bake at 375 for 10-14 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is crispy. Cut into 6 equal pieces. Feeds three people with 2 slices each. Enjoy!!!
