Roasted Acorn Squash Pizza

This is another great dish to serve in fall or winter time because squash is in season. The sage and sausage on the pizza compliment the squash and give it such a rich flavor.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, arrange:
1 (1 pound) seeded, sliced, and quartered (half-moon shapes) acorn squash

Drizzle with oil olive (about 1 tablespoon) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the over for about 22 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown:
1/4 lb Italian sausage
2 fresh tablespoons chopped sage

Once squash is browned and tender with a fork, peel skin, chop coarsely, and add to the skillet with sausage and sage. Toss mixture well and remove from heat. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Roll out pizza dough (recipe from Herbed Pizza Dough) either store bought or homemade. Spread evenly onto dough:
2 tablespoons reduced fat cream cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
sausage, sage and squash mix
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden.
