Just in time for Valentine's Day Ricotta and Tomato Heart Shaped Pizza that is not “diet food”!
In my opinion this is a restaurant style pizza pie and it is sooo great to see and know that you can still have a real slice of pizza on Weight Watchers if you follow recipes like those from https://www.instagram.com/ww.italianwifey/.
Her recipes are proof that weight watchers is not a diet but a really fun, delicious and doable life plan!
So how did this Ricotta and Tomato Heart Shaped Pizza – Each Slice is Four points on Weight Watchers Green come to fruition? According to Marianne aka https://www.instagram.com/ww.italianwifey/ she had some ricotta that she needed to use and came up with this recipe and of course she is very proud of the way it turned out!
She used the 2-ingredient dough crust. Actually, nothing is off limits on WW. That’s the beauty of the plan. I just weigh and measure my food or ingredients when cooking to make sure she stays within her daily points.
Think of a drizzle of a good balsamic over this pizza – Yum! How about adding spinach? Then it will be the colors of the Italian flag ! You have options!
Bottom line: Marianne is a Weight Watchers Ambassador who truly walks the walk and I love the recipes and tips she shares! You can check out her amazon shop at https://www.amazon.com/shop/ww.italianwifey And she has a fabulous Youtube channel too!
So of course I was thrilled when she graciously allowed me to share her recipe which looks as good as it tastes!
