INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup low-fat ricotta cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:
THIN PIZZA CRUST:
- The thin pizza crust helps in lowering WW points and calories. Whole-wheat tortilla is an alternative option.
LOW-FAT RICOTTA:
- This ricotta, which is low-fat, includes few calories and also makes the sauce creamy. The substitute option includes blended low-fat cottage cheese.
COOKING SPRAY:
- This is not only a good alternative idea for oil, but it also reduces the level of WW points and fats. You can remove it completely if you desire to.
LOW-FAT MOZZARELLA:
- Since this mozzarella is low in fat, it helps keep the pizza lighter, and it also melts well. Another option includes a light Italian cheese blend.
HERBS AND GARLIC:
- Both of them include calories, and they provide a good flavor. Other options are Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
LOW-FAT PARMESAN:
- When we use this ingredient in smaller amounts, it still provides us with a strong taste. Use light Pecornio cheese for an alternative option.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Set the oven temperature to 220°C.
- Over the baking tray, place the thin pizza crust.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper, and salt.
- Cover the crust with this mixture.
- Evenly distribute the mozzarella on top.
- Then include the Parmesan cheese.
- Apply some amount of cooking spray.
- Then we bake the pizza for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Allow it to slightly cool down.
- If you like, add fresh basil or spinach.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- For more nutrition, serve cooked veggies like tomatoes or mushrooms on the side of the pizza.
- To make it more filling, pair the pizza with a green salad.
- For a cozy dinner idea, serve the pizza with a light vegetable soup.
- When you want something cheesy but still low in WW points, eat a slice as a snack.
TIPS:
- To maintain a cheesy flavor while keeping the WW points low, use low-fat cheeses.
- Cheese can increase calories and points, so avoid adding too much of it.
- To increase the size and filling of the pizza without adding points, you can include zero-point vegetables.
- If you desire a crisp crust, bake the pizza on a preheated tray or pizza stone.
- Before slicing this pizza, cool it down for one minute for the cheese to stay in its place.

Is using a gluten-free crust also an option?
- You can consider using it.
