Asparagus and arugula pizza

This pizza is the perfect recipe for spring.  For an easy weeknight dinner, use readymade pizza dough or make your own from scratch if you have the time!

Start by rolling out your dough on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Add a few spoons of tomato sauce, several cherry tomatoes cut in half and about 10 stalks of green asparagus. Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until the asparagus is soft when poked with a knife. Once you take the pizza out of the oven, sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan flakes and a large handful of fresh arugula leaves. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and you're set!
