Tuscan White Bean Pizza

Tuscan white beans, or cannellini beans, make this pizza unique, delicious, and healthy. The pizza is quick to prepare, especially with using pita bread as a crust, which is already cooked. This dish may be used as an appetizer, or even a light main meal. Extra-virgin olive oil finishes the dish with a tasty touch.

Tuscan White Bean Pizza

1 15 oz. can Tuscan white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
5 roma tomatoes
5 whole-wheat pitas
Extra-virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper
6 oz. fresh mozzerella, cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and bake pita until soft, or for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place beans in a mixing bowl, and mash into a paste-like consistency.

Next, spread bean mixture onto pitas, and then cover with basil, tomatoes, and mozzerella on top. Bake pitas in the oven until the mozzerella cheese has melted. Serve by drizzling olive oil on top, and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
