Heat oven to 375 F. Lightly spray 10-inch pie pan or tart pan with nonstick cooking spray. Separate dough into 4 rectangles. Place rectangles in spray-coated pan. Press evenly over bottom and up sides; firmly press edges and perforations to seal. Prick dough with fork. Bake at 375 F. for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine oil, basil and garlic. Cook over low heat just until heated, stirring occasionally. Cover to keep warm.

Arrange half of the provolone cheese slices over partially baked crust; top with half of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers with remaining provolone cheese, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Spoon basil mixture over pie; sprinkle with pepper.

Bake at 375 F. for 15 to 18 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is deep golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. To serve, cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
