Slice of Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza

There are 3 things – food wise – that I get super excited about when fall hits.  Pumpkin, apple and butternut squash. I know that most people love pumpkin and apples, but I know you are probably thinking -butternut squash?  Yep.  I love it.  And can’t get enough of it all fall and winter long.  I’ve had it in everything from risotto to bread to soup and more.  But I had never had it on pizza – until now.

I had actually been wanting to make this pizza forever.  I had half of a butternut squash in my fridge before we moved, and then there was the chaos of moving, so when I did go to the fridge to grab the squash to make this pizza the first time, I discovered I had waited too long and my squash was no longer good.  But that didn’t stop me!  The pizza was promptly added to the next menu plan.

After my first bite, I kicked myself for not making it sooner. Yum. That’s all I could say. While my kids munched away on their plain cheese pizza, (the only kind they will eat), I happily enjoyed every bite of my pizza. Later, my dad tried it and totally fell in love, too.  In fact, he couldn’t stop talking about it.  And then last night, I got a text from my brother wanting this recipe because my dad was telling him about it. I’d say that’s one way to judge that it’s a winner!!

This is a pizza that will totally leave you craving more. It’s the perfect combination of flavors!

    Made this last night and it was delicious. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta since I had half a container languishing in the fridge. Sprinkled some garlic powder on top. Thanks for the recipe!

    I’ve had this combo on my list for a while — have been wallowing in butternut squash & sage recipes this week. YUM. And yes — butternut squash is definitely on our favorites list — definitely more than pumpkin. No contest.

    If only I were a fan of butternut squash. *sigh* The only way I can eat it is in a soup (with lots of cream and brown sugar). But the photos are gorgeous and the pizza really does look delish!

    Usually butternut squash is not one of the fruits/veggies I get excited for, as far as fall/winter produce goes, but this year I have been all over it! In fact, great minds must think alike, because I posted a similar pizza recipe recently but with a few other fall flavors added to the mix!

    Butternut squash is one of my all time favorite fall flavors. Just used it in ravioli the other night. This pizza is genius! I know I’ll be making this. 🙂

    This looks a-ma-zing! I’m a true summer girl and always get a little depressed when fall hits but over the past few years, it’s the butternut squash that pulls me through! Cannot wait to make this – thanks for the recipe 🙂
