My Mom made asparagus and ricotta pizzas tonight, a recipe she found in Real Simple magazine. This is what I call restaurant food and it was so tasty. Good news, I have the recipe to share:
1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
Cornmeal, for the baking sheets
1 pound asparagus, halved crosswise and lengthwise
5 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups baby arugula (we just used romaine)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Shape the dough into 4 rounds and place on 2 cornmeal-dusted baking sheets or stones.
Dividing evenly, top the dough with the asparagus, mushrooms, and garlic, then the ricotta, Parmesan, and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and crisp. 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the lettuce with the lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Top the pizzas with the lettuce just before serving.

p.s. Apparently 'restaurant food' is also 'girl food' because the guys picked up their dinner from Taco Time. ha.
