Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 cup diced butternut squash (about 6 ounces)
1 12-ounce ball pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage, plus 1/4 cup leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups baby arugula
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500˚ F. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the squash to the skillet and cook until soft and browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Cover an inverted large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch oval on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the baking sheet, prick the top with a fork and bake until the dough just begins to turn golden and looks dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Mix together the ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, the Parmesan, chopped sage and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread on the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the bacon, squash and sage leaves. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until the crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board, sprinkle with more Parmesan and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Toss the arugula in a bowl with the olive oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pizza and serve with the salad.

ROASTED SQUASH AND SAGE PIZZA (OR PITA PIZZA OR BURRITO)



Roasted Squash and Sage Pizza (Or Pita Pizza or Burrito) image

This is my favorite pizza ever. The roasted goodness of the squash goes perfectly with the tang of the tomato sauce. It looks like a long ingredient list, but it's mostly spices. This recipes makes enough toppings for two big pizzas, 6 pita pizzas, or 6-8 burritos. Everything can be made ahead and then assembled and popped into the oven. Adjust the level of "hot" you like by increasing or decreasing the red pepper. If you only want to make one pizza, halve the ingredients (except for the squash and sage, you gotta roast the whole thing -- and you'll love the roasted squash as is as a side dish.) I found this recipe in the September 2008 issue of Delicious Living magazine.
