LOW FAT/LOW CHOLESTEROL/LOW CALORIE

Prep: 15 min
Bake: 15 min

Keeping pesto on hand can be a real lifesaver! Toss it with hot cooked pasta or steamed veggies for a delicious low-fat meal, or spread it on toasted bagels for a quick and easy snack.




   Basil-Spinich Pesto:
   1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
   1/3 cup soft bread crumbs
   3 tablespoons reduced-fat or fat-free Parmesan cheese, grated
   1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
   2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
   2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves
   1 cup chopped spinach leaves
   Main Dish:
   1 (10-ounce) package ready-to-serve thin pizza shells (12 to 14 inches in diameter)
   2 cups reduced-fat spaghetti sauce
   1 medium green bell peppers, cut into rings
   1 medium red bell pepper, cut into rings
   1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 ounces)


1. Heat oven to 500°. Make Basil-Spinach Pesto.
2. Place pizza crust on ungreased cookie sheet. Spread Basil-Spinach Pesto over crust. Top with spaghetti sauce and bell peppers. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10 to 15
minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly.
