Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza
Asparagus is earthy where ricotta is rich, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tender-crisp asparagus spears add a vibrant, grassy freshness and springtime elegance. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
