Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizza
- 1/3 cup cubed, peeled butternut squash (about 2 1/2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 small red onion
- 5 large sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 3/4 pound store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
- Cooking spray
- 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese (2/3 cup crumbled)
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Thinly slice each cube of butternut squash and toss in a small bowl with the olive oil.
- Thinly slice the onion and sage.
- Sprinkle a work surface with the cornmeal and use a rolling pin and/or your hands to stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the dough onto it.
- Crumble the gorgonzola and sprinkle it evenly all over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
- Scatter the squash and onion on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the sage on top.
- Bake until the cheese is melted, the squash is softened and the crust is almost browned, about 11 minutes.
- Scatter the walnuts over the pizza and bake until they are lightly toasted, an additional 2 minutes.
- Slice the pizza into 8 wedges.
