Shaved Asparagus Pizza

I had some left over asparagus from the poached egg dish I make last week. I also found a really simple recipe for pizza dough from Smitten Kitchen. I wanted to add a lot of different flavors, so I went with some traditional pizza toppings: minced garlic, prosciutto, ricotta and mozz. This is a pizza that can easily be throw together on the go for a quick meal.
