Grilled Pizza with Ricotta, Asparagus, and Sausage
Don't reserve the grill for just burgers! Once you try this grilled pizza with ricotta, asparagus, and sausage, you'll never want to make pizza any other way!
1bunch of asparagus, cut into bite-sized pizzas (about 3 cups)
15ouncespart-skim ricotta cheese
extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Heat grill to medium heat.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add sausage and break up as it browns. Cook until browned, drain grease, return to pan and then add asparagus. Continue to saute for 2-3 minutes until asparagus is bright green and tender. Remove from heat.
Stretch pizza dough to about 1/2 inch or thinner. This recipes makes 2 pizzas but can be halved if you want. Brush both sides of dough with olive oil.
Carefully put dough on heated grill and cover. Cook for two minutes, and look at the underside (grill side) of dough. It should be golden brown and the top should be bubbling up. If not, continue to cook for one minute intervals, checking after each minute. Once golden brown, remove to a cookie sheet or a pizza peel (grilled side facing up) and add toppings to grilled side. Spread ricotta almost to edges and then top with asparagus and sausage mixture. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Carefully return pizzas to grill and grill for 3-4 minutes or until toppings are heated through and pizza dough is cooked through.
