Shaved Asapragus Pizza



This pizza was so yummy! The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was kind of a pain in the bum to shave the asparagus (mine kept breaking). But I loved how it tasted, and can't wait to make it again soon!


Shaved Asparagus Pizza



1 whole Batch Of Pizza Dough - Enough For 1 12-16 Inch Pizza
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, For Drizzling The Dough
8 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella (or you can use pre-shredded. That's what I had)
1 bunch Asparagus
Herb and Garlic cheese spread (I used onion and chive whipped cream cheese)
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper


Cut the tough ends off of your asparagus and disgard. Cut the tips of asparagus and save for the pizza. Take a vegetable peeler and shave thin ribbons from you asparagus stalk. You will need a lot because they shrink a lot while cooking. Set shaved asparagus aside. Roll or shape pizza dough and put on your pizza stone or pan. Drizzle dough with olive oil and brush to coat. Spread Mozarella slices, or shredded mozarella over the dough. Evenly distribute your asparagus shavings and tips over your pizza. Put teaspoon sized dallops of herb cheese all over the pizza. Top with cracked black pepper. Bake on 450 for about 15 minutes.
