Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (one 14-inch pizza)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Cornmeal, for dusting, optional
One 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 1/2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons torn fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 large garlic clove, smashed
2 cups shredded mozzarella
4 ounces goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
3 cups baby arugula
Zest of 1 lemon plus juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour, rosemary, yeast, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add 3/4 cup warm water and the oil and process until the dough forms a ball. Transfer to a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • For the topping: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss the squash with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Roast until just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sage, rosemary, red pepper flakes and garlic. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes, just to infuse the oil.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal or flour on a 14-inch pizza pan and set aside.
  • Liberally flour a clean work surface. Place the dough on top and use your hands to stretch it out into a 14-inch circle. Carefully lay the dough on the pizza pan. Brush the infused oil onto the dough. Top with the mozzarella and the roasted squash, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown, 14 to 18 minutes. Carefully sprinkle the goat cheese evenly on top.
  • Toss the arugula with the 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon zest and juice and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Top the pizza with the arugula, then cut into slices to serve.

ACORN SQUASH AND ARUGULA PIZZA



Acorn Squash and Arugula Pizza image

i found this on a cooking channel and she made it look so easy that I had to try it not being a pizza sauce fan this was perfect for me and will be using it on thanksgiving. You can use Boboli pizza crust instead of raw but cook crust for about 8min first then add ingredients. Use a very sharp knife on the squash as it can be tough to cut.

SHEET-PAN PIZZA WITH ASPARAGUS AND ARUGULA



Sheet-Pan Pizza With Asparagus and Arugula image

You might be tempted to call this a focaccia, not pizza, and you might be right, but it probably falls somewhere in between. Store-bought pizza dough can be a real time-saver, but if you can't find it refrigerated, you'll need to plan ahead to defrost frozen dough. Defrosting is best done for 24 hours or so in the fridge - or longer, as the dough will continue to ferment and improve in flavor after a day or two. The dough is easier to stretch if it's not ice cold, so let it come to room temperature. The pancetta can be omitted for vegetarians, but the lemony herb and arugula salad on top is not to be missed.

Categories     dinner, quick, pizza and calzones, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fresh or thawed frozen pizza dough, at room temperature
1/2 cup fresh ricotta (about 4 ounces)
5 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1/2 bunch asparagus (about 1/2 pound), trimmed and cut into 5-inch pieces
1 or 2 serrano or jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced
4 thin slices pancetta (optional)
1/2 cup pitted and torn green olives, like Castelvetrano
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
1 cup loosely packed Italian parsley
1 cup loosely packed baby arugula
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. Pour 3 tablespoons oil into a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet and brush to coat. (If you don't have a quarter sheet pan, you can use a larger one and aim to stretch the dough into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle.) Carefully stretch dough evenly to fill the baking sheet, avoiding creating holes or thin spots. The dough probably won't fit the baking sheet, so let it rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. If it still resists, layering the ingredients on top will help it keep its shape.
  • Dollop the ricotta around the dough. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly. Toss the asparagus with the peppers and 1 teaspoon oil; arrange randomly over the cheese. Cut the pancetta slices in half, if using, and tuck them in here and there.
  • Bake on bottom rack of oven for 15 minutes. If it seems to be darkening too quickly, lower heat to 450 degrees. Remove from oven, top with olives and return to oven for another 5 minutes until cheese is starting to brown and the crust is browned and crisp. Remove pan from the oven and immediately slide the pizza off the pan and onto a wire rack to prevent sogginess. After a few minutes, slide onto a board for serving. Season with flaky salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, toss parsley and arugula with lemon juice and remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season with flaky salt and pepper. Garnish pizza with salad and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces roasted red peppers, (about 3), drained, rinsed, and roughly chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for work surface

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a blender, puree peppers until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. On a floured work surface, roll 2 dough balls into 10-inch rounds. Sprinkle 2 rimmed baking sheets with cornmeal; place 1 round on each. Top each round with 3 tablespoons red-pepper puree and one-fourth the cheese, leaving a 1-inch border. Drizzle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Transfer pizzas to plates and keep warm.
  • Wipe sheets clean, sprinkle with cornmeal, and repeat to make 2 more pizzas. In a medium bowl, toss arugula with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Divide basil among pizzas and top with arugula. Serve with lemon wedges.
