Speck and Arugula Pizza
Speck is smoky and savory where arugula is fresh, and a shared herby streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
This cold-smoked, dry-cured ham from the Italian Alps offers a subtly smoky, juniper-scented flavor. Peppery, crisp arugula adds a fresh, vibrant bite as a post-bake pizza topping. On a Truffle Cream Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and aromatic character ties the two together.
