Tuscan Pizza
I love olives. If they had no calories, I would eat them by the bucket. Again, though, they are another ingredient that when eaten in moderation provides good fats our bodies do need. Here, I’ve used them to make pizza, another of my favorite foods. This throw-together meal will take significantly less time than waiting for takeout. And it’s especially great because you can stock the ingredients in your kitchen for that night when you just don’t have time to cook.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2
Place the crust on a baking sheet large enough for it to lie flat. Spread the sauce evenly over the crust to cover all but the outer 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the Kalamatas, green olives, capers, and red pepper flakes. Bake the pizza until the cheese melts and the crust is lightly crisped, 8 to 10 minutes. Let it stand 5 minutes, and then cut it into 8 slices and serve immediately.
