"This low fat high in taste white pizza is a great way to try a "different" kind of pizza. Try adding your favorite veggie to the topping."

Very delicious!! I needed to use up some ricotta cheese plus I had homemade pesto. I bought pizza dough and blind baked it for 5 minutes. Once the pizza was put together I baked it for 5-7 minutes more. This pizza was easy to put together and very tasty. This is a keeper!!

My husband and I love this pizza! After the first try, it became a quick staple item on the menu. To shorten things up a bit, I use store bought pesto(not the instant stuff from a pouch...the real deal). And, for a little more flavor I add spinach and asparagus to my side and ground sausage to my husbands. We rarely have any left over.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
