How to Make Roasted Squash And Sage Pizza Or Pita Pizza Or Burrito

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed, with 1/2 cup chopped fresh sage, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Spread the squash mixture in a single layer on a 9x13 inch baking dish. Roast for 40 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  4. While the squash roasts, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  5. Stir in 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) crushed tomatoes with their juices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread your choice of crusts (pizza crusts or pita breads) with the tomato sauce.
  8. Top with the roasted squash, the remaining 1/2 cup chopped fresh sage, and 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. If making burritos, spread the sauce and squash mixture in warmed tortillas and top with cheese. Bake until cheese melts if desired.
