I have been reading low calorie/low sodium/low (trans) fat cookbooks for awhile now. Making changes. In the past, we have pizza on Friday nights ordered out, but we gave it up, because we are trying to cut down on fatty foods. Today I decided I still want pizza, just lighter. We were missing pizza a lot!
I read a recipe in one of the cookbooks today. I couldn't tell you which one.
I didn't even remember all of the ingredients, but I remembered the main ones. So here is my version of a light pizza:
Pizza Lite
1 whole wheat Boboli Pizza crust
I used about 4-5 Tbsp of 1 jar of low sodium, low sugar pizza sauce (I used low sodium/low sugar spaghetti sauce because I couldn't find low anything pizza sauce)
about 4 tspns pesto sauce (I added this)
2 cups low moisture/part skim mozzarella cheese
(I don't know what I omitted, but that was it.)
Preheat oven to 450. Put pizza crust on a pizza stone. Spread pesto sauce evenly over all of the crust, then spread pizza sauce over that, top the pizza with sprinkled mozzarella all over the pie. Cook for 10 min.. It was so good and easy! And we were glad to have pizza again! DH said it was better than Papa John's!
(I thought so too!) Next time I might get adventuresome and change it some, maybe add Canadian bacon and pineapple. 
How about you? Do you have any light pizza recipes, or light recipes in general to share?
