Shaved Asparagus and Prosciutto Pizza

1. 1

   Begin by preparing your pizza dough.

2. 2

   The recipe I use needs to be made in advance but you could also use a premade crust to make it even faster.

3. 3

   Heat a pizza stone in the oven at 500 degrees F. If you dont have a pizza stone, you can make your pizza on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Dont worry about cutting off the ends of the asparagus.

5. 5

   Instead, use that part to hold on to as you draw the peeler away from you to create thin strips of asparagus.

6. 6

   There will be some thicker and some thinner strips.

7. 7

   Dont worry, just go for it!

8. 8

   Set the asparagus aside and heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

9. 9

   Add the garlic and stir until it begins to brown (this can happen fast so keep a close eye on it; burned garlic = bad!).

10. 10

    Add the goat cheese and stir until it melts.

11. 11

    My pizza had a very subtle goat cheese flavor so feel free to add more if you like.

12. 12

    Spread goat cheese mixture over the pizza crust.

13. 13

    Put asparagus strips in a large bowl and toss with proscuitto, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper.

14. 14

    Spread mixture over your pizza crust.

15. 15

    Bake at 500 degrees F for about 1012 minutes, until crust turns golden.

16. 16

    Cut into squares and enjoy!
