This is my mom's famous pizza recipe! This was such
a treat when we were kids. Forget about frozen pizzas or paying to
order in... give this a try instead! I recommend serving this with
a side of Morningside Farms "Veggie Buffalo Wings." You

Pizza , Eggplant Parmesan Pizza,

Ingredients:
1 (13.8-oz) tube of refrigerated Pillsbury classic pizza crust (found
by crescent rolls/premade cookie dough) *
1 small 6-oz can tomato paste (Use the flavor of your choice. I
love garlic!)
1 packet Italian Spaghetti Sauce Mix (Any brand is fine - McCormick,
French's, etc.)
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (Or you can use a five-cheese
blend like the one from Kraft which includes low-moisture, part-skim
mozzarella, provolone, romano, asiaso, and parmesan cheese)
* Alternately, you can use 1 box Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix, 1 package
of refrigerated pizza dough, or any other ready-made pizza crust.
These are all roughly the same points value, but please note that
my Nutritional Info below is based on the refrigerated 13.8-oz tube
Pillsbury pizza crust.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º. Spray or grease cookie sheet or
pizza pan. (I use a 13-inch "thin crust" pizza pan)
Unroll dough on greased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Press to desired
size, shape and thickness. Set aside.
Place tomato paste, 6-oz of water (use the paste can to measure), and
sauce mix in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10
minutes, stirring every few minutes with a whisk.
Top dough with pizza sauce, cheese, and desired toppings. Bake 10-15
minutes.
Yields: 8 slices
