Asparagus Pizza on Pita Bread
Ingredients
1 pita bread or a boboli pizza crust
1 cup of artichoke pasta sauce
1 plum tomato (sliced)
2-3 slice of bacon
6 asparagus spears, trimmed, halved lengthwise, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 red pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 5.5-ounce 4 cheese mix
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Asparagus wrapped in Pancetta
Ingredients
2 pounds medium asparagus
1/2 pound very thinly sliced pancetta
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped thyme
Directions
Tightly wrap each asparagus spear in a slice of pancetta and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, stir the orange zest and juice with the mustard and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus over moderate heat, turning often, until they are just tender and the pancetta is crisp, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the asparagus to a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with the thyme and serve.
