I used low-carb rotini pasta for this recipe, low-fat mozzarella, and fat-free mozzarella, too. If you are on a purple plan, using whole wheat noodles will lower your point values.

And I also like to add spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms to pizza. Those are all zero points on the SmartPoints plan!!
