White Bean and Spinach Pizza

*PIZZA COLLECTION*                                  

*Prep Time:  15 min.  Start to Finish : 25 min. 6 servings    

*  1/2 cup sun- dried tomato halves ( not in oil )  

* 1 can  ( 15 oz. to 16 oz. ) Great Northern or Navy Beans, rinsed and drained

*2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped    

*1 pkg. ( 10 oz.) ready - to- serve thin ITALIAN pizza crust ( 12 inch in dia. )

* 1/4 tsp. oregano leaves

*1 cup shredded firmly packed spinach leaves  

* 1/2 shredded  reduced- fat  Colby--Monterey Jack cheese ( 2 oz.)

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pour enough boiling water over dried tomatoes to cover. Let stand 10 min.; drain. Cut into thin strips ; set aside.  
2. P lace beans and garlic in  food processor. Cover until smooth.
3. Spread beans over pizza crust. Sprinkle with oregano, tomatoes, spinach and cheese. Place ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 10 min. or cheese is melted.   

• TIP: When picking out your pizza crust, think thin. The thick- crust variety is much higher in carbohydrates, calories and fat per serving.
