Roasted Tomato Basil Pizza

salt

Italian seasoning

store bought pizza crust (11 ounce thin crust)

mozzarella cheese, shredded

Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

parmesan cheese

basil,

Slice the tomatoes into 1/8 thick slices and place on baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.

Season the tomatoes with salt, Italian seasoning pepper and olive oil and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.

Lower the oven to 425 degrees, then spread out the pizza crust out onto a clean baking sheet spreading to the edges as much as possible. Poke holes with a fork along the top of the crust so it doesn&#8217;t bubble up.

Bake the crust for 8 minutes then remove from the oven and top with the three types of cheese and the roasted tomatoes.

Place the pizza back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 7-8 minutes.

Garnish with more parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Grate the garlic clove over the tomatoes. If you don&#39;t have a rasp grater, chop the garlic very finely with a chef&#39;s knife.

Pour the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Stir to combine and then add the basil.

Add hot cooked pasta to the bowl and toss. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
