Ricotta-Mushroom Pita Pizza

You won’t miss that cheesy Sicilian slice from your local pizzeria after you try this ricotta-mushroom pie.
Yield: 1 serving
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 13 minutes
Total Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 whole-wheat pita, choose a brand with 150 calories or less
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pita bread (closed, do not cut open) on the baking sheet and mist the surface with oil spray. Toast the bread in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat a small skillet with oil spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Season with the garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the toasted pita bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if using (sprinkle lightly — they’re very hot!). Bake the pizza for 8 minutes.
