Asparagus and Pesto Pizza


This is the fastest, easiest recipe yet! Especially good for a weeknight, after a frazzle of a day at the office and coming home to a whiny toddler. When I feel industrious I will make the pizza dough on a weekend and freeze it, but most of the time I just buy the Presidents Choice flatbread for this recipe:(http://www.presidentschoice.ca/LCLOnline/products.jsp?type=details&catIds=cat40002&catIds=102&productId=prod550007)

This is another inspiration from Smitten Kitchen with my own flair. Smitten painstakingly uses a peeler to thinly slice the asapargus, for which us busy girl's have no time. Believe me I tried it!
Of course any pizza with a pre-baked crust is easy to make for a fast meal on a weeknight, I frequently use shaved procuitto, sundried olives, basil and boconcini as a topping. This is great as a white pizza or even with a tomato base. Pizza is loved by all, even whiny toddlers.

Enjoy.

Asparagus and Pesto Pizza

1 Bunch Asparagus (chopped in half and quartered)
1 Flat Bread or favourite crust
4 tbl spoons Pesto (or to taste)
5 small boconcini balls (cut in half)

Spread pesto on flatbread to cover, top with chopped asparagus and boconcini and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Yummy!
