While I love any and all squash(es?), I never would've thought to put it on a pizza. Galette? sure, but something never clicked in my head. My awesome aunt was the one who introduced this Roasted Acorn Squash & Gorgonzola Pizza to me, and I can't thank her enough, it's fabulous!!!
Here's my lazy version:
Roasted Acorn Squash & Gorgonzola Pizza
adapted from Giada
Serves 1 (as a side or part of a meal... if you have my kind of appetite;-))
1/2 acorn squash (sliced thin, mixed with 1/2T maple syrup, 1/4T olive oil, dash red pepper flakes, roasted at 375 until tender... this was done the day or two ahead of time)
1 pita
gorgonzola
handful of spinach, tossed with a little bit of balsamic vinaigrette (I didn't measure, but you don't want it too heavy, just for a little flavor)
Top pita with gorgonzola (as much or as little as you like, I think I had ~2T or more on a medium-size pita) and toast until warm and melty. Meanwhile, warm acorn squash (if prepared ahead of time) slightly. Top pita with acorn squash then the balsamic-dressed spinach. Dig in!
Great pizza!! I too love squash(es) ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe last restaurant I worked with paired sweet potato, gorgonzola, and a bit of prosciutto on a pizza - it was rocking - now I'll have to try the squash!

Love homemade pita pizzas! I practically lived on them last year ;). What a wonderfully simple recipe... it sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletei wouldve never though of squash on a pizza, but that looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like something I would fall in love with, but I agree, it sounds really weird at first. Go Giada.
ReplyDeleteGiada + gorgonzola + squash = LOVE IT. What a great combo!
ReplyDeletedon't you love what gorgonzola cheese adds? love that. I would totally eat this up.
ReplyDeleteYum! That looks great!! I recently put roasted butternut squash on pizza...with ricotta and carmelized onions...it turned out very tasty!
ReplyDeleteBlue cheese and sweet squash is such a great combo!
