This Lemon Pesto Asparagus and Prosciutto Pizza is made with fresh ingredients and is incredibly savory! It's the perfect Springtime pizza!

We make homemade pizzas at least once a week in our house. A lot of times the pizza concoctions I make incorporate trying to use up produce or leftovers that are close to expiring in the fridge.

Since I had a bunch of Asparagus that needed to be used up, I figured it would be super good on pizza along with some Prosciutto which I always have on hand.

Then I was trying to decide what type of sauce I wanted. Typically I just brush on some EVOO mixed with minced Garlic over the crust, then top it with cheese etc.

But I wanted something Lemony since Lemons and Asparagus go so good together.

This Lemon Pesto Asparagus and Prosciutto Pizza is made with fresh ingredients and is incredibly savory! It's the perfect Springtime pizza!

So I decided to make a homemade Lemon Pesto to spread over the crust.

Wow! Let me tell you the flavors of the Lemon Pesto, Asparagus, and Prosciutto along with the Cheeses are like a taste explosion in your mouth! So much goodness!

I hope you guys love this Lemon Pesto Asparagus and Prosciutto Pizza as much as we did! It’s:

  • Light
  • Refreshing
  • Lemony
  • Crispy
  • and INSANELY savory!
