This pinsa recipe is perfect as a light lunch or dinner - they’re topped with brie and toasted in the oven, before being drizzled with Pesto Barilla alla Genovese. Lightly marinated paper-thin asparagus strips and Prosciutto di Parma are then piled on top giving a classic delicious flavour combination.
