Make pizza dough. Roll out to a 25 cm round and transfer to a baking sheet. Cover while you prepare the topping. Trim any woody ends from the asparagus, then diagonally cut each spear in half. Cook in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain and cool quickly under running cold water. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Spread the pesto over the pizza base, taking it almost to the edge. Slice the taleggio. Scatter the asparagus, taleggio, tomatoes and rosemary sprigs over the pesto, then sprinkle with grated parmesan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until browned and crisp at the edges. Scatter the basil leaves over the top and serve. Tried - really great and quite seasonal at the moment, at least in Europe.

It is funny, isn't it? Natalia.
