Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza

Ryan and I made this last night. We made a side of baked sweet potatoes and totally didn't need them. This pizza filled us up good!

Ingredients:
Pizza dough - suppose you could make it fresh but we used Pillsbury and that worked out great
Butternut squash - a small squash (3 cups or so cut up) will do
Fresh sage
Shallots (however much you want on the pizza works)
Pizza sauce - we used Ragu, worked just fine
Mozzarella/Chedder - shredded, we mixed the two and it worked
Gruyere - cubed
Salt and pepper - to taste
Oil - 2 T
Butter - 1 T

Pre-heat the oven to 400F
Cut squash and shallots into sizes want for pizza toppings
Heat the oil and butter in a roasting pan
Add squash, shallots, 4 sage leaves to pan, toss in oil/butter mixture
Let roast for 20-25 minutes

Roll out pizza dough onto pan (we used a non-stick cookie sheet)
Cook in oven for 5-10 minutes (or whatever the directions on the package tell you)
Take dough out of oven: add pizza sauce, layer of mozzarella/chedder, squash/shallot/sage. Add more mozzarella/chedder if desired, 4 more sage leaves, gruyere

Cook for 15-20 more minutes.

Serves 4.

Yummy!
