Great pizza recipe and I have butternet squash and argula in my garden – yeah!
So trying this one out!!!
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!
Jacqueline – I am so glad you enjoyed – the goat cheese, arugula, butternut squash combo is simply divine, I do have to agree
I am huge fan of butternut squash, but my husband won’t go within 100 feet of it. Is there anything else I can substitute for it in this recipe? It looks so good and I would love to make it!
what about pumpkin or sweet potato? or even peaches? you can also just leave it out and it will still be tasty.
