Ingredients

    For Pizza:

    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
    • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
    • 1 prepared pizza dough, about 9-ounces
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 3 ounce goat cheese, crumbled

    • 1/4 cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 400 F.

    On a sheet pan, toss butternut squash with maple syrup, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.

    Increase oven to 450 F. Sprinkle cornmeal on a rimless baking sheet and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a 10-inch circle and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Top with mozzarella, goat cheese and roasted squash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Top with arugula and serve immediately.

    While pizza is baking prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine romaine, red onion, goat cheese and vinaigrette. Toss well and serve with pizza.

    Tip: To purchase fresh prepared pizza dough swing by your local pizza shop and buy a ball of dough.

    1. Great pizza recipe and I have butternet squash and argula in my garden – yeah!

    2. So trying this one out!!!

    3. I made this for dinner after the Sab bath was over Saturday night and wow! I love the hot and spicy flavor on the butternut squash from the red pepper flakes. And the combination of goat cheese and arugula made such complex flavors in my mouth. I served the pizza with linguine with homemade pesto from my garden. I used a whole what pizza crust I made Friday afternoon and refrigerated overnight. Great recipe!
