2 Garlic cloves, minced

1 Red onion, thinly sliced

1 Sweet red pepper, thin slice

If asparagus is not available, green beans make a good substitute. [Use round pizza crust] On baking sheet, sprinkle pizza base with half of the fontina cheese. Trim and cut asparagus in 2-inch pieces. Set aside. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until softened. Add red pepper, 2 tb of the basil, and hot pickled pepper (if using); cook for 3 minutes. Add asparagus; cook for 3 minutes or just until bright green. Season with pepper. Spoon evenly over pizza base; sprinkle with remaining fontina cheese. Bake in 400f 200C oven for 15-20 minutes or just until cheese is bubbly and melted. Sprinkle with remaining basil.
