Asparagus! Yes!
If you love asparagus, this is the Pizza for you. If you hate asparagus, this is a great introduction to the wonders of the asparagus plant. Drown it in ricotta cheese and you just might like it!
Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough (must let get to room temperature!)
1 pound of asparagus, cut off and use tender ends (top 3 inches)
5 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (light is ok!)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 table spoons olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 cups baby arugula
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Meat eaters, add chicken sausage!
Directions
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Shape the dough into two or four rounds and place on flour dusted baking sheet.
3. Top dough with mushrooms, garlic, asparagus, ricotta and Parmesan cheese.
4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on top of pizza.
5. Bake until the crust is golden brown.
6. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with the lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Top the pizzas with the mixture just before serving.
Bon apetite!
