Italian Vegetable Pizzas

Try Asiago cheese on your homemade pizzas.

2 tablespoons clear Italian salad dressing
1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces, or one 10-ounce package frozen cut asparagus, thawed
1 medium yellow summer squash or zucchini, cut into julienne strips (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 (8-ounce) packages Boboli (six 6-inch Italian bread shells)
1/4 cup clear Italian salad dressing
1 ripe large tomato, seeded and chopped (1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
1/3 cup finely shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese

1. In a medium skillet heat the 2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing. Add asparagus and summer squash or zucchini; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 1 minute more.
2. Place bread shells on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush bread shells with the 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing. Using a slotted spoon, top bread shells with the cooked asparagus mixture. Top with chopped tomato; sprinkle with pepper. Combine mozzarella cheese and Asiago or Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pizzas.
3. Bake in a 400 degree F oven about 8 minutes or until cheese melts and pizzas are heated through. Cut the pizzas into wedges to serve.

Makes 12 servings.
