Simple Low-Fat Margherita Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I used the oregano, basil and garlic ones for more flavor)
    1/4 cup tomato paste
    1 (10 ounce) prepared pizza crust, pre-baked thin crust (I like whole wheat Boboli)
    16 small basil leaves
    4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thick
Preparation
    Heat oven to 450.
    In bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, mix well.
    Spread tomato mixture over pizza crust, top with mozarella.
    Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. The original recipe calls for the basil to be added with the cheese, but personally, I like the freshness of the basil if you add it during the last minute of cooking, just so it wilts a little.
