Nutrient-Rich Healthy Spelt Pizza featuring a Housemade Tomato Sauce and Creamy Cashew Garlic Drizzle. Savor the Flavor and Convenience – Perfectly Freezable for Your Future Cravings!
What do you think about the idea of pizza with asparagus? I must say I really liked it, however, I missed olives and onions, so I added them later, lol. And if you read the recipe I am not even including asparagus, because I know everyone has their favorite toppings. This recipe is mainly for Healthy Spelt Pizza.
Nevertheless, if you do like to try, I suggest steaming the asparagus for a couple of minutes first. Cool them down by placing them on a few ice cubes and wait a few minutes. You may brush them lightly with oil, add pink salt, and arrange them on top of the pizza. If you have fresh basil, you can mix some in the tomato sauce or just sprinkle some on top. You can also use dried basil if you like.
I also hope you are going to try the cashew sauce because that is what makes this pizza really zesty!!! I mean you can also use Daiya Cheese which I love, however, homemade is always healthier. Specially, since I am focusing on totally healthy pizza, made from scratch with whole plant-based ingredients.
The truth is, that it is also very easy to make. And if you are busy during the week, you can make extra pizza dough over the weekend and freeze it. During the week you can just move it from the freezer to a refrigerator and it will be ready for dinner when you come home. However, you can also try my older SPELT PIZZA recipe, which is even easier. Or if you prefer gluten free you may like CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA . They are both delicious and very healthy.
Anyway, I hope you like the idea of making your own healthy pizza and you will give it a try. Also, if you have any suggestions or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!
