Pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil
Serves 2
A simple but delicious pizza topped
with mozzarella cheese, sweet cherry tomatoes and fragrant fresh
basil.
1 garlic clove — minced
2½ tablespoons tomato paste
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 store-bought pre-baked thin pizza crust (or use a large whole
wheat pita bread as the crust)
3 oz (85g) grated mozzarella cheese
10 cherry tomatoes — halved
20 small whole basil leaves (or 10 larger basil leaves, roughly
torn)
PREHEAT the oven to 450°F/230°C. MIX
together the tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, salt and black pepper
in a small bowl. SPREAD the sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
SPRINKLE the mozzarella cheese on top. ARRANGE the halved cherry
tomatoes evenly over the pizza crust. PLACE the pizza on a baking
tray and cook for 10 minutes. TOP evenly with the basil leaves.
