Shaved Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza: A Delicious Spring Recipe
Spring has finally arrived, bringing warmer temperatures and fresh seasonal produce! As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to experiment with new recipes that capture the essence of spring. Forget about the usual winter comfort food – it’s time to embrace lighter, brighter flavors! After a long winter, New York City is waking up. Temperatures are beginning to rise, finally reaching the 40s. Some days, they might even reach the 50s. This season change signifies new beginnings, and I’ve immersed myself in a fascinating and demanding project during the week, pushing me beyond my typical comfort zone, which usually involves delicious cheese, indulgent carbs, and heavenly chocolate.
I’ve been diving headfirst into the world of Business Fundamentals & Tactics, an innovative business program organized by General Assembly in collaboration with McKinsey & Company. The program is rigorous and engaging, challenging me to think critically and strategically. Instead of focusing on teaspoons and cups while devouring Homemade Samoas Girl Scout Cookies, I’m now crunching cumulative revenue formulas and creating financial models to evaluate potential business ventures.
I thrive on challenges and am eager to learn crucial concepts relating to business models, market analysis, and quantitative research methods. I am excited to share insights gained from the program. Feel free to visit my Course Reflections blog to learn more about the journeys that my fellow students and I are taking. (FYI, my USPS business model case study is based on the USPS business model.)
But enough about business! Let’s talk about something equally exciting: this amazing recipe for Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza. It’s the perfect dish to welcome spring, bursting with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. The creamy ricotta, combined with the delicate asparagus, creates a truly unforgettable pizza experience. Shaving the asparagus into thin ribbons ensures a quick cooking time, and the delicate ribbons can also be used in salads featuring leafy greens or your favorite grains. To truly enhance this pizza, a little bit more is needed…
Ricotta lovers, get ready! You can now make batch after batch of your favorite cheese with only two ingredients and some simple techniques. With just 8 cups of whole milk and 2 cups of buttermilk, you can create incredibly cheesy homemade ricotta that’s perfect for pizza, crostini, or lasagna. Making homemade ricotta is easier than you think, and the taste is far superior to store-bought versions.
