How to Make Acorn Squash And Arugula Pizza

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Acorn Squash: Cut one medium acorn squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and thinly slice (about 1/4 inch thick).
3. Toss the squash slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, or until tender.
4. While the squash roasts, prepare the crust: If using a pre-made crust (like Boboli), bake for 8 minutes before adding toppings. If using homemade dough, prepare according to your recipe instructions.
5. Spread 1/2 cup ricotta cheese evenly over the pre-baked crust.
6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
7. Return the pizza to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from oven and top with the roasted acorn squash and 2 cups of arugula.
9. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and finish with a dash of freshly cracked black pepper.
10. Slice into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
