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

Directions
Start by Preheating the oven to 425°F. Then coat the asparagus with the olive oil and on a frying pan, fry the bacon untl crisp. Cut the tomatoes next and on the pita bread put the tomatoes then asparagus with oil, red pepper, bacon and tomatoes. On top put dabs of artichoke pasta sauce all around the pizza. Bake it in a 400°F. oven for about 6-8 minutes then remove it from the oven. Crumble the 4 cheese mix over the pizza and spring the crushed pepper on top of the cheese. Put it back in the oven and back it until the edges are golden brown. It should be about 7-10 minutes. I love putting garlic powder and oregano but that’s an option I’ll leave to you.

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.

1 pound fresh asparagus
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 pinch ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup yogurt

3. Melt butter in the pan that was used for simmering the asparagus and onions. Stir while sprinkling flour, salt, and pepper into the butter. Do not let the flour brown. Allow the mixture to cook only 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth and increase the heat. Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil.
