Topped with creamy ricotta and lightly charred veggies, this family favorite becomes truly restaurant-worthy -- in less than a half hour.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), thick ends removed
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), thinly sliced, plus 3 tablespoons oil from jar
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup ricotta

½ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Mix together Greek yogurt and sour cream in a small bowl.

Reduce heat to medium-low and mix in diced tomatoes, sugar, and tomato paste. Stir until well combined. Whisk in yogurt mixture swiftly.
