Pizza With Plum Tomato And Basil

Ingredients

=== PIZZA ===
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 premade pizza pie shell
1 cup Spicy Marina Sauce (listed below)
1 cup grated low-fat mozzarella cheese
6 fresh basil leaves thinly cut
3 plum tomatoes thinly sliced
=== SPICY MARINARA SAUCE ===
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup thinly-sliced red bell pepper
1 cup thinly-sliced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced jalape

Method

Pizza: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. If you are using a baking sheet, coat it with olive oil. (If you have a pizza stone, you can eliminate the olive oil. Simply place the stone in the oven to preheat it.)

Cover the top of the pizza pie shell with the Spicy Marinara Sauce. Sprinkle the cheese over the top so that it covers the sauce evenly. Sprinkle the basil evenly over the top. Place the plum tomatoes around the pizza.

Place the pizza in the oven (on a stone or baking sheet) and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pizza dough is firm and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 3 minutes before serving.

Spicy Marinara Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, red and green bell peppers, and jalape
