1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. thinly sliced peeled garlic
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. + 1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. diced Mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 (7") pita bread

In a small skillet heat oil over moderate heat. Stir in onion and garlic and cook about 1 minute until onions begin to soften. Add meat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Spoon off and discard any fat. Add tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer 3 minutes. Stir in cheeses and parsley; cook a few seconds, stirring constantly, until Mozzarella begins to melt; remove from heat. Cut about a 1" slice off one edge of each bread, and open the pockets. Spoon meat mixture into pita breads. Heat a nonstick skillet over moderate high heat. When hot, add stuffed pitas. Cover and heat 30 seconds longer. Serve hot. Makes 2 servings.
