Cheap Meal #1 Pizza!!!

Hey so I know this economy is hurting everyone but especially you college kids who are low on cash to begin with. So in light of the current "economic crisis" I have begun looking for some healthy recipes that are even cheaper than ones I have posted previous to this one. This is a nice recipe and its really quick.  And better yet, its only about 2-3 dollars per serving (this makes 6 servings).  This is just one of the many amazing recipes from eatingwell.com and if you click on the picture it will take you directly to this recipe on their page. ENJOY!

What you need:
1 pound of prepared (frozen)  whole-wheat pizza dough 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, halved and sliced 
2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto cut into strips (about 1/2 cup) 
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or to taste)
1 cup of shredded fontina or part-skim mozzarella cheese 
2 cups packed chopped arugula
1 cup chopped tomato 

What to do:
- Put oven rack in the lowest position in the oven and preheat your oven to 450 degrees. 
- Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray
- Roll dough on a semi-floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Move the rolled out dough onto the baking sheet and bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom (about 8-10 mins). 
- While the dough is baking heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, prosciutto and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring continuously, until the onion begins to brown (about 3 mins).
- Evenly spread the onion, prosciutto, and crushed red pepper mixture over the crust and top with cheese.
-Place the pizza back in the oven and bake until golden brown and the cheese is melted (about 8-10 mins). 
- Remove pizza from the oven, top with arugula and tomato, and enjoy!
