The tender, slightly sweet asparagus pairs beautifully with the creamy, rich ricotta cheese, while the crispy, salty pancetta adds a savoury punch that ties everything together.

The pizza crust, whether thin and crisp or soft and chewy, serves as the perfect base for these fresh ingredients.

Drizzled with a bit of olive oil and perhaps a sprinkle of salt, this pizza is both elegant and satisfying, making it a perfect choice for a special meal or a weeknight treat.

How To Make A Asparagus, Ricotta, And Pancetta Pizza:

What To Do:

1. To make the dough, pour the water into a large bowl and gently stir in the sugar and yeast. 
2. Put aside for around 10 minutes until the water has a thick beige foam floating on top. 
3. Add half the flour and stir gently with a wooden spoon. 
4. Don’t worry about clumps in the flour, as these will soon disappear.
5. Gradually add half the remaining flour and continue stirring. 
6. Once it’s all incorporated, add the remaining flour and the salt, crushing it between your fingers. Mix with clean hands. 
7. As soon as the dough forms a soft, spongy ball, turn it out on to a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes. Add a little more flour if it’s too wet. 
8. By this time the dough should be smooth, elastic and no longer sticking to your hands.
9. Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover loosely with oiled clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 45–60 minutes.
10. Halfway through the rising time preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/Gas 9.
11. Make the topping while the dough rests and rises in the bowl. Place the asparagus in a little olive oil & salt until well-greased.
12. In a pan gently heat the oil with the garlic and cook it gently for 2 minutes or so, it must not fry and colour. Add the chopped tomatoes and a good amount of salt and half a teaspoon of white sugar.
13. Simmer briskly for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly, getting rid of any obviously watery element. Let the sauce cool.
14. When the dough has risen turn it out on to a lightly floured surface and knock back with your fists.
15. Stretch, or flatten the dough with a rolling pin, until about the thickness of a £1 coin. Place each pizza base on a lightly floured baking sheet or tray and brush on top with a little more oil.
16. When ready to assemble, spread the sauce half over each pizza base leaving a clean and narrow margin around the edge. Spread the ricotta over the tomato sauce, scatter over the asparagus spears, then add a grind of black pepper and scatter fresh oregano leaves.
17. Scatter over the pecorino all over the top of the pizzas and finally dribble a generous amount of olive oil over the whole pizza, slide into the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, the base should be very crispy.
18. Serve immediately.
