Ingredients

  • gluten free sourdough pizza crust or crust of choice
  • pinch of cornmeal
  • 1 batch pea shoot pesto or avocado pesto
  • 1 batch tofu ricotta from this recipe
  • handful ramps about 8-10 stems
  • 1 fistful asparagus
  • fresh pea tendrils/shoots
  • 2-3 cloves garlic optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional
  • lemon zest
  • macadamia nut

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing your crust according to package directions. If homemaking, I recommend sprinkling a little cornmeal on a silpat or nonstick baking mat and par baking your crust first.
  • First, prep your veggies. Remove stems from your ramps and set your leaves aside. Thinly slice stems, and then slice your leaves into larger ribbons. Slice your asparagus and set aside.
  • In a pan, sauté your ramp stems with a little bit of oil until fragrant (a few minutes) then add your leaves and asparagus. If desired you can sauté with 2-3 cloves of minced garlic as well. Sauté for another few minutes until vibrant and green and remove from the heat.
  • To assemble your pizza, spread a generous layer of your pesto onto your crust base. Then layer on your sautéed spring veg. Using a piping bag or a spoon, place dollops of tofu ricotta on your pizza then bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes to finish. The tops of your ricotta dollops should be lightly golden.
  • Season your pizza with salt and pepper, garnish with pea tendrils if desired and microplane lemon zest and macadamia nut to finish.
