This Mozzarella Asparagus Pizza recipe uses black olive tapenade or pesto (or both!) as a sauce. Using fresh mozzarella keeps the pizza from getting too "cheesy" and greasy. You can make your own pizza dough, or buy it already made. Ditto for the tapenade and pesto.

Mozzarella Asparagus Pizza Recipe serves four

Prep Time: 20 minutes
