Mushroom, Asparagus, and Pesto Pizza



One of the things I love most about pizza is using whatever random stuff we have in the fridge and making a pizza out of it. There are very few toppings that I don't like. For this particular pizza, I cooked some sliced up mushrooms and added some roasted asparagus and pesto. Yummy!!

Mushroom, Asparagus, and Pesto Pizza
1 pizza crust (we used TJ's herb crust this time)
1 c. pesto sauce
1 T. butter
1 T. olive oil
2 c. sliced button mushrooms
3 T red wine
2 T chopped, fresh thyme
salt and pepper, to taste
2 c. roasted asparagus, cut in thirds
2 c. cheese (we used cheddar and mozzarella)
Feta cheese

Preheat oven to 500. Precook crust for 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, red wine, and salt and pepper to taste.  Cook until the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.

Spread the pesto on the bottom of the crust then top with cheese, mushrooms, asparagus, and sprinkle feta over the top.

Bake for an additional 6-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is browned and crisp.
