Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 48 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 13

Fresh Basil, thinly sliced
4 whole-wheat pita breads (each 7 1/2 inches)
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice

Pita Pizza Pocket- Weight Watchers (Ww) 4pts!! image

This recipe is 4 pts. Please remember to not go off of stats on recipezaar because you have to choose the right ingredients to make it. Here is a break down... Pita- 1 pt : Salad pita pocket Pepperoni- 1 pt : 5 slices (if you want less pts, use turkey, I didn't. I don't like it.) Cheese- 1 pt : fat free mozerella Sauce- Ragu has the least amt of calories and fat that I have found use whatever vegetable toppings you want. I listed what I used below. When you add everything up and put it into ww calculations it comes up with 4 pts. (I guess everything else gets you one more pt.)

  • ** I have made with onions, green peppers as well. You can add crushed red pepper or jalapenos if you like pizza hot.

A very yummy and kid-friendly lunch sandwich that can be as easy or as complex as you want it to be. I thought of it today on the way home from my son's preschool using the left over stuff I just happened to have in the house. My kids loved it and I could make it in just a little more time than it would have taken me to make them peanut butter and jelly (the usual lunch). I enjoyed it more than peanut butter and jelly too :-)

  • Don't overload your pita pizza with toppings, or it will become soggy.
  • If you are using fresh vegetables, be sure to pat them dry before adding them to your pizza, or they will make the pizza soggy.
  • For a quick and easy weeknight meal, you can make pita pizzas ahead of time and freeze them. Then, when you're ready to eat, just pop them in the oven until they're heated through.
