Naan bread takes the place of pizza dough, speeding up the baking time. It's perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tsp chopped garlic
2 cups canned whole Italian tomatoes, with juices
4 naan
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 tsp basil leaf

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pot over medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 sec or until fragrant. With a clean pair of kitchen scissors, cut whole tomatoes inside the can, then add to pot with juices. Add a pinch of sugar and gently simmer on medium-low for 15 min or until thick. Season with salt.
Brush remaining 1 tbsp oil onto baking sheet. Place naan on sheet. Top each with a dollop of sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with basil.
