Creating Spring Pizza is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

3. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Layer Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
5. Add Vegetables: Distribute the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, asparagus pieces, bell pepper slices, and red onion evenly over the cheese.
6. Season: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on top.
7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and color.
