Servings: persons

1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped herbs, such as basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme (optional)
1 pound pizza dough (see footnote for recipe link)
1 tablespoon flour, for dusting
1/2 cup diced smoked ham
1/2 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1
Preheat an oven to 550 degrees F (285 degrees C).
2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes. Once asparagus is cold, drain well and set aside.
3
Combine ricotta, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream in a small bowl. Stir in fresh herbs (if using) and set aside.
4
To shape the pizza dough, sprinkle the countertop and dough surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter. Transfer to a baking sheet.
5
Spread ricotta mixture over crust, top with ham and asparagus. Sprinkle with Cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses.
6
Place baking sheet on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to the top rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
