Shaved Asparagus and Carrot Pizza

I've been using a vegetable peeler to
create ribbons of fresh vegetables
using them in salads and pasta dishes.
Here I simply used the vegetable ribbons
to top a ricotta cheese flat bread pizza.
With the colors of the Italian flag this is
a pizza that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients:
1 recipe for pizza dough
2 cups tomato sauce
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 fresh asparagus stalks, trimmed
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons
with the fresh stalks of asparagus.
Roll out pizza dough to desired shape
and top with tomato sauce, ricotta and
arrange asparagus around pizza with garlic.
Top with mozzarella and bake for 10 minutes.
