Number Of Ingredients 8

1 recipe Jiffy Pizza crust (1 box Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix) or your favorite pizza dough
1/2 pound fresh green asparagus, rinsed well and woody ends removed
store-bought bechamel sauce or Alfredo sauce
1/2 pound grated/shredded mozzarella (use very large grater of box grater)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 pound mozzarella, shredded or cut into small cubes
olive oil
sprinkle of salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Shave fresh asparagus: (1) by picking up each asparagus spear and make shaves of asparagus using a sharp, "never used" disposable shaving razor blade or (2) laying flat, while holding one end, each asparagus spear and make shaves using a vegetable peeler. Make your pizza crust following package directions (no need to pre-bake the crust though) and stretch out the pizza dough (dusted with flour) to fit a large rectangular baking tray with sides (dusted with flour or cornmeal) . Brush formed crust lightly with olive oil. Top oiled pizza crust with white sauce (bechamel or Alfredo), a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and shredded/grated mozzarella. Arrange shaved asparagus on top, add a sprinkle of salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil. Bake at a preheated 425 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are nicely browned.
