Mushroom & asparagus pizza with parsley pesto

Pesto Italian cuisine

I've never used black trumpet mushrooms before, but they looked and smelled so interesting at the farmer's market that I was inspired to incorporate them into my usual mushroom mix. I combined the mushrooms with aspargus and parsley pesto for an all-around celebration of earthy springtime flavors after weeks of rain. <br /> <br />I'm obsessed with a truffle-infused salt that I bought at The Filling Station at Chelsea Market, so I sprinkle it on everything from mashed potatoes to srambled eggs for a little taste of over-the-top luxury. If you have some lying around, it never disappoints, and certainly takes this pizza up a notch.
