Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated whole-wheat pizza dough
  • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 large clove garlic, quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Grease a pizza pan and spread the dough evenly onto the pan (in whatever shape you like). Set aside.
  3. Make the pesto: Place the basil, pine nuts, parmesan, oil, water, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse a few times, and then blend until fairly smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides.
  4. Spread 1/4 cup of the pesto onto pizza dough, covering evenly. Put the rest of the pesto in a tightly sealed container and store in the refrigerator.
  5. Spread the ricotta cheese on top of the pesto (it may not cover the entire pizza). Sprinkle the mozzarella on top.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
