Recipe Review

I made tonight this based on aj's recommendation below and I have to agree - this was excellent pizza. The asparagus and cheese went together perfectly, and the asparagus was perfect - not soggy, not raw, but just lightly cooked.

I used Peter Reinhart's Neo-Neapolitan dough for the crust and then followed the directions as written, though we didn't have scallions to put on top once it was out of the oven.

I found that our vegetable peeler worked fairly well on the asparagus, though I had to press pretty hard. I also found that our pizza didn't take the 10-15 minutes she recommends in the recipe - more like 7 or 8 in our oven set at 500 degrees.

Update: I've made this a few more times since first reviewing it, and it continues to impress. It's a great appetizer, and we served slices of it cold as part of several different types of nibbles for a summer party, to lots of acclaim.
