Quick basil and mozzarella pizza

A ready-made base keeps this Margherita simple: tomato passata, lactose-free mozzarella and fresh basil are the main toppings. The original recipe allows 20 minutes, using a ready-to-use gluten-free, low-FODMAP base. For a version with homemade dough and more toppings, see Quattro Stagioni pizza.

Ingredients for 1 pizza:  

• Gluten-free pizza base (e.g. from Schär)  
• 2.71 oz tomato passata   
• Lactose-free mozzarella cheese   
• Fresh basil leaves  
• Olive oil  
• Salt and pepper to taste 

Instructions: 

1. Set the oven to the temperature stated on the pizza-base packet.
2. Cover the base with a thin layer of tomato passata, then add slices of lactose-free mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake following the packet directions, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
