Garden to Eat

Now that it's July our basil plants have become incredibly fragrant basil bushes so we're in homemade pizza mode. As our neighbor says, "I garden to eat," but my tomatoes got a late start so I had to stop at Lund's for some Romas.

Last night we chopped a ton of basil after I took the hubby to his very first Yoga class at the Y. We keep our pizzas pretty simple, but you could add any combination of fresh veggies and herbs from your garden.

Tomato Basil Pizzas
One package of 4-5 pocketless pitas
3 Roma tomatoes - chopped
Bunch of Fresh Basil - thinly sliced
3-5 cloves of garlic (we like a lot of garlic!)
Sea Salt
2 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil + extra
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Use a garlic press to crush the garlic into a large bowl. Add tomatoes, basil, salt, 2 T. olive oil, and mix.

Place pitas on a cookie sheet. Place a drop of olive oil onto each pita and spread over the whole pita.

Cook at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes (pitas should start to turn brown). Take out of the oven and top with the cheese.

Return to oven for another 4 minutes.

Note: We've made this recipe so often that I don't really measure anymore, so you may need to adjust the salt and oil to your liking.
