Slowly but surely, the weather is warming up. We’re stripping our winter coats off (literally) and trying to soak up some Vitamin D. Our taste buds are craving for things other than stews and braises; they want crisp spring vegetables, outdoor dining while sipping cocktails on the deck, and pizza! Yes, pizza!
This double cheese pizza – shredded mozzarella over a white parmesan sauce and then topped with fresh spring produce like asparagus will have your taste buds sing of joy! Finish off the winter citrus by using it as a finishing touch to your pizza – a squeeze of lemon on top of this will make the new vegetables pop!
The parmesan white sauce is incredible simple to make and replaces the classic tomato sauce in pizzas. Easy to whisk up and pumped up on flavor with shredded parmesan cheese. It brings a touch of decadent to the simply fresh produce. As you can see, I used store-bought pizza dough, but you can make your favorite from-scratch recipe to make it as well.
We’re excited about sharing this pizza with you all and the generous folks at Land O’Lakes are hosting a fun pizza giveaway for you all! This Emile Henry pizza stone is the perfect stone for a party – preheats and creates an incredibly crispy crust! Paired with a huge Crate & Barrel serving platter (which would be awesome to serve a huge salad to accompany the pizza with), it’s the perfect way to get your pizza party started!

So ready for spring! My favorite recipe for spring is asparagus roasted on honey/ soy sauce.
your pizza looks fantastic. for the spring and summer i love fresh vegetables. i really try to hit all the flea markets or people who are selling from their gardens. i then freeze some for the winter and eat what i can.
Any recipe with fresh spring herbs is a favorite. I can see adding them to your pizza. Yum!
Our favorite spring dish is roasted asparagus and potatoes with steak. My husbands favorite foods are steak and pizza. He would go crazy over the pizza stone. thank you.
Spring salads Prosciutto and sharp provolone cheese or fruit and what I love about these salads you can put them on a pizza crust with a little olive oil or a Vinaigrette. Light refreshing and satisfying
