Cheesy Pizza Primavera

Directions

If asparagus is not available, green beans make a good substitute.

[Use round pizza crust]

On baking sheet, sprinkle pizza base with half of the fontina cheese.

Trim and cut asparagus in 2-inch pieces.

Set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until softened.

Add red pepper, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and hot pickled pepper (if using); cook for 3 minutes.

Add asparagus; cook for 3 minutes or just until bright green.

Season with pepper.

Spoon evenly over pizza base; sprinkle with remaining fontina cheese.

Bake in 400℉ (200℃) (200C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or just until cheese is bubbly and melted.

Sprinkle with remaining basil.

Cut into wedges.
