Steps:
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatoes, garlic, salt, sugar, pepper, and oil. (Alternatively, for a completely smooth sauce, you can blend the ingredients in a small food processor or blender.)
- Preheat the oven to 500°F and set an oven rack in the bottom position. Dust a 13x18-inch baking sheet with half of the cornmeal.
- On a lightly floured surface, using your hands, stretch and press one ball of dough into an 11-inch round. Transfer the dough to the cornmeal-dusted baking sheet, and gently stretch it out again so that it maintains its shape.
- Spread ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons of the sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 7 minutes, until the crust is partially cooked. Remove from the oven, and scatter half of the mozzarella cubes over the sauce, followed by half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Slide the pan back into the oven and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 4 minutes more. Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with the basil and slice. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough and ingredients. (If you'd like to bake the two pizzas at the same time, you can fire up two ovens. Or, if you don't mind the crust a little thicker, you can form the two dough balls into 8x12-inch rectangles and place them side by side on the baking sheet.)
- Note: This recipe makes enough sauce for 4 (11-inch) pizzas. Refrigerate extra sauce for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

MARGARITA PIZZA
Steps:
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
- Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 20 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
- Preheat oven to 450F. I like to use a pizza stone, and preheat the stone in the oven as well. If using a round pizza pan or sheet pan, spray with oil.
- Sprinkle a work surface and rolling pin with a little flour and roll the dough out into a large thin round or oval (or you can make 2 smaller pies).
- Lay the dough out onto the oiled nonstick pizza dish or sheet pan.
- Spread the sauce over the crust. Top with cheese and place the pan on the pizza stone, bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, top with basil and drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Slice the pie into 8 slices.

ONE DELICIOUS LOW FAT PIZZA MARGHERITA
This Neapolitan style pizza is so simple to make and so dilicious. My girlfriend and I went shopping and came home and made this for lunch along with a spinach salad and iced greed tea. She has so many good low fat recipes. I read this one has only 206 calories and 0.3 grames of fat. Can't beat that for a great pizza. I saved a piece for Woody and he enjoyed it for a snack later in the day.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450.
- In bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, mix well.
- Spread tomato mixture over pizza crust, top with mozarella.
- Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. The original recipe calls for the basil to be added with the cheese, but personally, I like the freshness of the basil if you add it during the last minute of cooking, just so it wilts a little.
