Pizza with Winter Squash and Pesto

Sweet and savory, yum. You could use whatever kind of pesto you like here: kale pesto, green garlic pesto, parsley-mint pesto, or, of course, regular Italian basil pesto.

1 14-inch pizza crust
olive oil
1 cup cooked and mashed winter squash
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup pesto (whatever kind is in your freezer), thinned with water if needed
2-3 oz. shredded or cubed mozzarella

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Paint the pizza crust lightly with olive oil. Spread the squash over it and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the pesto over the squash (thin it with water first if needed to get an easily spreadable consistency). Spread the mozzarella over the pesto.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the crust is done and cheese begins to brown.

Serves 3-4.
