A yummy meal that requires minimal effort and is ready in no time.
Ingredients
Directions
- Cut pitta in half and place on a baking tray covered with aluminum foil.
- Pre-heat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- Peel and crush the garlic, then mix in a bowl with half the ricotta, oregano and pepper. Season with pepper (and salt if you wish).
- Spread the mixture on the pitta breads, then top with chopped spinach.
- Finally, crumble the remaining ricotta cheese over the top.
- Place in oven for about 5 minutes, and remove when cheese starts to brown.
- Eat straight away for maximum enjoyment!
- Note: I prefer to use 2 mini-pittas, but I've written this recipe for a normal-sized pitta because it's easier to find in the supermarket.

I have made something like this before, but I used portobello mushrooms instead of the bread. Try it, it is so tasty!

I'm not a ricotta fan so I substituted the ricotta for less than half a hand full of shredded mozzarella. Mixed it in with the spices and cut it up along with the spinach. I put it on top of the pita and added a few pieces of mozzarella from a ball. Turned out amazing. Its fast and easy but best of all it taste amazing!

This makes for a great filling lunch or simple dinner. I used used trader joe's fat free ricotta (1/3 cup) and trader joe's 6" whole wheat pita (80 cals each). You can either split them in half and do two pizzas that way or use 2 separate pitas for a few more calories. I also added an once of part skim mozz to the top. I do want to experiment with more seasoning, though!

I actually substituted fresh basil for the spinach because I forgot the spinach at the supermarket this morning. I also added a small amount of reduced fat shredded mozzarella and at 1/2 the recommended portion with a salad on the side. It was so yummy and filling. Thanks for the great idea. I am going to share this with my friends at work who are always looking to make quick healthy meals during their work day.
