Asparagus Pizza with Mondo Bizzaro Sauce
dough made from ingredients on hand - whole wheat/unbleached flour blend; yeast; water; salt; oil
Pizza dressed with green onions (FMkt), asparagus spears (FMkt), sauce made from garden & on hand ingredients, mozarella from the big store.
Split the stems of the asparagus lengthwise up to near the tips and they will be evenly cooked.
Mondo Bizzaro Sauce
(from the Moosewood Cookbook, 1977 edition)
Puree in blender:
4 cloves garlic
10 fresh basil leaves
2 c. tomato puree
1⁄2 lb. fresh, chopped spinach leaves
1⁄2 c. chopped parsley
3/4 c. olive oil
Stir in:
3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Heat gently and toss with hot pasta (note: it would also be OK to have the pesto at room temp. and toss with hot pasta, for a cooler kitchen)
Mondo Bizzaro also works well as a sandwich dressing or pizza sauce.
