Instructions: If asparagus is not available, green beans make a good substitute.

[Use round pizza crust]

On baking sheet, sprinkle pizza base with half of the fontina cheese. Trim and cut asparagus in 2-inch pieces. Set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until softened. Add red pepper, 2 tb of the basil, and hot pickled pepper (if using); cook for 3 minutes.

Add asparagus; cook for 3 minutes or just until bright green. Season with pepper. Spoon evenly over pizza base; sprinkle with remaining fontina cheese.

Bake in 400f 200C oven for 15-20 minutes or just until cheese is bubbly and melted. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Cut into wedges.
