Spinach Pita-Pizza

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1/8 pound spinach, raw bunch or bagged
4 mushrooms, medium, fresh
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin
2 tablespoons chicken broth, fat-free, low-sodium
1 pita, whole wheat, large
2 tablespoons reduced sodium spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese, part-skim
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon oregano, dried
10 baby carrots
1 cup tossed green salad
1 tablespoon fat-free salad dressing, favorite flavor
Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and chop spinach, mushrooms and garlic (peeled).
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; add garlic and saute´ for one minute.
Add spinach and mushrooms and heat until spinach is wilted, adding chicken stock, a small amount at a time as needed, to prevent sticking. Remove from heat.
Place a pita round on a flat baking sheet lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread pita round with spaghetti sauce.
Spread spinach mixture on top of prepared pita; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese that has been shredded, basil and oregano. Bake pizza in oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Serve with raw carrots and tossed salad.
Prepare salad with washed greens, your favorite crisp vegetables and fat-free salad dressing of choice.
