Ingredients
- 12 pizza crust
- 2 garlic (cloves)
- 1 lb asparagus (fresh)
- 2 c fontina
- 1 tb olive oil
- 3/8 c basil (fresh)
- 1 tb pickled pepper (hot)
- 1/4 ts pepper

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 tb 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 400f 200C oven for 15-20 minutes or just until cheese is bubbly and melted. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Cut into wedges.
