Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

½ (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
8 stalks fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (10 ounce) package fresh pizza dough
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
1 teaspoon garlic-flavored olive oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto, sliced
1 small onion, sliced

Steps:

Place a pizza stone in the oven at 550 degrees F (260 degrees C); preheat for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add spinach, cover, and steam until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove liquid.
Place asparagus in a single layer in a flat, microwave-safe dish. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and microwave until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with oil. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese over top. Add prosciutto, onion, asparagus, spinach, and remaining Parmesan.
Remove pizza stone from the oven. Transfer pizza to the hot stone and return to the oven. Bake until crispy, about 10 minutes.
