There’s hardly ever a time when pizza isn’t a good idea. Whip up this vegetable-packed pizza pie in a snap using fresh asparagus, peppers, your favorite pizza sauce and Sargento® Shredded 4 Cheese Pizzeria that has all of the flavors to create the best tasting melt a pizza can get. Throw some seasoned arugula on top of your pizza to add zesty freshness and serve up a pizza with style.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp. olive oil, divided
- 3/4 cup sliced fresh asparagus spears (1/2-inch pieces)
- 3/4 cup diced yellow bell pepper (1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 large shallot, sliced or 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10 oz., 12-inch) prebaked pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) Sargento® Shredded 4 Cheese Pizzeria
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups packed arugula, watercress or mixed baby greens
Directions
- Heat 3 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and bell pepper; cook 2 minutes. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Place crust on baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread pizza sauce over crust; top with vegetable mixture and cheese. Bake on lower oven rack in preheated 400°F oven 12 to 14 minutes or until cheese and crust are golden brown.
