Servings: 2 10-inch pizzas
Cost: $8
Ingredients
- 2 10-inch pizza dough- homemade or store-bought
- 1 delicata squash
- 2 cups ricotta
- ¾ cup grated pecorino cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dry sage
- olive oil for drizzling on the pizza after baking
- 4 cups mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees to roast the delicata. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash the delicata squash really well then pat dry. Cut off the ends and cut the squash down the middle lengthwise. Spoon out the seeds. Thinly cut slices, I like to cut them about ¼-inch. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until they are tender. Remove them from the oven and prepare everything else.
- Preheat the oven to 525 degrees (on convection if you have it). If you are using a baking steel, be sure to preheat this in the oven as well.
- Mix the ricotta, pecorino, salt, pepper, and sage in a small bowl.
- Spread the mixture over one of your 10-inch pizzas. Add the delicata slices on top of this. Top with 1 ½-2 cups grated mozzarella.
- Bake the pizza until it is golden brown. When it is done, remove it. Drizzle the pizza with olive oil and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.
- Bake the next pizza in the same way.
