Asparagus and Ricotta Pizzas
Con Poulos
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F. Shape the dough into 4 rounds and place on 2 cornmeal-dusted baking sheets.
Step 2
Dividing evenly, top the dough with the asparagus, mushrooms, and garlic, then the ricotta, Parmesan, and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the arugula with the lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Top the pizzas with the arugula just before serving.

I use dayia mozzarella cheese substitute for the vegans out there. I dont need to cut the asparagus when they are in season. I also put oil directly on the crust before the ingredients. It works for me

I've made this several times. To the person who said the asparagus should be chopped up, the recipe calls for it to be cut in half and then again lengthwise. I don't find the ricotta to be that big of a deal, but you could spread it on first if it bothers you. I just do one large pizza and have found that 1/2 a lb of asparagus is plenty as well as half the ricotta. I also use spinach instead of arugula. The salad topping is what really makes this tasty. So good and easy to make! Will try with goat cheese too. Yum.

I highly recommend substituting herbed goat cheese for the ricotta. We used an 8 ounce log of goat cheese - plenty of flavor and a big hit!

There is something messed up with this recipe. The asparagus is way too long for a pizza, it really should be chopped up. Also, recipe calls for you to add ricotta second to last. By not spreading it on the pizza dough before the ingredients are piled on it, you are forced to pile clumps of ricotta on top of the vegetables, and it's not spread out. It was tasteless,and terrible. We had to toss it, which was a shame because the ingredients were not cheap.
