Ingredients
- 1 (10- to 12-ounce) ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon Fustini's Gremolata olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 8 asparagus spears, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about a 12-inch round. (You can also stretch it using your hands. Note that it does not need to be a perfect circle.). Move the dough to the baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Spread on the ricotta cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus before slicing. Spread the asparagus pieces over the ricotta cheese and finish by evenly spreading out the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Reduce the oven temperature to 450 F and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or according to package directions. The dough should be cooked through and the cheese fully melted.. Top with the baby arugula (optional), a sprinkle of the crushed red pepper flakes and serve hot.
