Pizza Recipe

This canadian bacon and asparagus pizza has become one of our favorites this spring! I adapted it slightly from a recipe I found in "Runner's World". Paul loves it as well and it's a healthier version of a "traditonal" pizza!

Ready-made pizza crust

1/3 cup Ricotta cheese

1/4 cup prepared Pesto sauce

8 aspargus spears (cut into 1 in pieces)

3 slices of Canadian bacon ( cut into small strips)

mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Blend the Ricotta cheese and Pesto sauce and spread over the pizza crust. Toss the asparagus spears in about a tablespoon of olive oil (I also added a bit of salt/pepper to the oil) and place asparagus on pizza. Add the Canadian bacon to the pizza as well. Bake for 10 minutes...asparagus should be bright green.

Remove from oven and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza...I don't really measure, just enough to lightly cover. Cook for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!! This pizza is so great and refreshing!
