Pizza With Tomato and Basil

Mags...found a recipe in "Cooking Light" Magazine for a white pizza with tomato and basil and was going to give it a try, however, after reading the ingredients, I knew your Dad wouldn't be too keen with pesto being used in place of a tomato sauce. Sooooo, I came up with my own. I'm sure I'm not the first to put this combo togehter, but I have to say...it was really good. And your Dad had absolutely no problem with the fresh basil; kept asking what's that green stuff? Figured I wouldn't say anything until he finished! As I pointed out to him, the calories are a little higher than I thought, but I consider them "healthy" calories..hahaha! I would really like to try the original recipe; maybe we'll have to get just us girls together for pizza night. After taking the picture, I noticed that I had not done a very good job on spreading very evenly....I did fix it, just forgot to take another picture.
