ASPARAGUS & POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Shape the dough into a 16-in.-long oval or rectangle and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, asparagus, onion, oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Scatter the vegetables and cheese over the dough and bake until the potatoes are tender and the crust is golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.

ASPARAGUS PIZZA

Steps:

• Trim 1/2 pound asparagus. Cut each stalk in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Form 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough (at room temperature) into an 11-by-15-inch rectangle on an oiled piece of parchment. Top with the asparagus and 1 cup shredded fontina. Slide the crust (on the parchment) onto a preheated pizza stone or inverted baking sheet. Bake at 475˚ until the bottom is crisp, 12 minutes. Top with pesto and red pepper flakes.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare and heat the oven: If you have one, place a pizza stone on a lower rack in your oven. Preheat the oven to 550F or as hot as it will go.
• Precook the potatoes: Mound the potato slices in the middle of a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss together and spread in an even layer with no pieces overlapping. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Let cool briefly.
• Prepare the asparagus: Trim about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the asparagus spears. With a vegetable peeler , shave the spears into long, thin strips: hold a spear by the bud end and scrape down the length with the peeler. Turn the stalk often until you can no longer scrape it. Cut the remaining core of the spear into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss all of the asparagus with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
