1 pre-packaged whole-wheat pizza crust
3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup light ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced tomatoes, any size
1/2 can artichoke hearts (in water, drained)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil
Hands-on Time: About 20 minutes
Cooking Time: About 10-15 minutes
Obviously you can make homemade pizza any way that you like, but this combination of ingredients reminded me of the colours of an Italian flag. Plum or cherry tomatoes are probably the best size to use; I used grape tomatoes because they were available, but you could also use regular tomatoes if you like. Smaller tomatoes are probably less likely to slide off the pizza because you can get them in one bite.
Brush the crust with olive oil. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the top, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of that. Layer the tomatoes and artichoke hearts evenly over the pizza and sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. Bake according to the package directions for the pizza crust. After baking, let the pizza cool slightly and layer the fresh basil over the top.
