Ingredients

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
• ½ (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
• 8 stalks fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 (10 ounce) package fresh pizza dough
• 1 teaspoon garlic-flavored olive oil
• 1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a pizza stone in the oven at 550 degrees F (260 degrees C); preheat for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add spinach, cover, and steam until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove liquid.

Step 3

Place asparagus in a single layer in a flat, microwave-safe dish. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and microwave until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with oil. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese over top. Add prosciutto, onion, asparagus, spinach, and remaining Parmesan.

Step 5

Remove pizza stone from the oven. Transfer pizza to the hot stone and return to the oven. Bake until crispy, about 10 minutes.
