Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
- Prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends and cutting each spear diagonally into 2-inch pieces.
- Clean the ramps thoroughly, separating the white bulbs from the green tops. Chop the bulbs finely and slice the greens into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ramp bulbs and minced garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just tender. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the ramp greens.
- Roll or stretch your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12-14 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread dollops of ricotta cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle half the mozzarella over the ricotta.
- Distribute the asparagus and ramp mixture evenly across the pizza. Top with the remaining mozzarella and all the Parmesan. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh lemon zest. Let the pizza rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes.
