Spinach, Feta and Tomato Pizza

Ingredients 

1 whole wheat pita 
1/2 cup light ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 sliced tomato (your choice)
3oz chopped spinach (fresh or frozen works)
1/3 cup light feta cheese
1/2 tbsp oregano 

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a pan with Pam or other olive oil spray to make sure it doesn’t stick.
- Rub a tiny amount (maybe a teaspoon) of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) onto the pita. 
- In a bowl take your ricotta cheese and garlic powder and mix it together, and spread all over the pita, leaving about 1/2-1 inch on the edge of the crust.
- Take your chopped spinach and spread evenly over the pita. Then top it off with tomatos and feta!
- Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on how crispy you like your pita pizza.

There are a ton of options for this, any veggies would work. Next time I will add a little bit of fresh garlic and maybe some cayenne or hot sauce just to kick it up a little. It’s delicious !
